Política de educação e assistência estudantil: tendências e concepções de assistência estudantil sob a perspectiva de gestores e profissionais no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás- IFG

Abstract

This dissertation shows that the IFG's student assistance policy, especially through PNAES, aims to enable the access and permanence of students in situations of social vulnerability in higher, technical and secondary education with financial support and strategic actions. The general objective is to analyze trends and conceptions of student assistance from the perspective of professionals in a historical context of hegemony of neoliberal policies, scrapping of public services and counter-reform of the State. The specific objectives that refer to the three questions posed previously are: (I) Analyze the relationship between education policy and student assistance in the Brazilian socio-historical trajectory; (II) Understand the trajectory of the institutionality of the student assistance policy within the scope of the IFG; (III) Analyze the programs and actions arising from IFG's student assistance policy; (IV) Understand challenges and requirements for the student assistance policy at IFG, taking into account its purpose, organization and management and the commitment of IFG managers and professionals. The study hypothesis is that the student assistance policy goes beyond the limits of a financial resources transfer policy, considering that the Student Assistance Policy (PNAES) aims to provide conditions for students in situations of social vulnerability to establish development of its formation based on academic, scientific and social integration. The research that integrates the dissertation was qualitative and quantitative in nature, based on bibliographical and documentary research and empirical research.

The research results show that there is a consensus on the importance of the State's role in guaranteeing Student Assistance, which is one of the bases for understanding the role and importance of the Student Assistance Policy in reducing socioeconomic inequalities among the student body.
