Professional education in state schools in Brazil, North and Amapá, between 2012 and 2022: a brief review

Abstract

Brazilian state governments are responsible for providing secondary public education, both formal and EPT. The federal government, however, is the main regulator of public policies in education, through the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC)[6]. The objective was to carry out a bibliographic review on professional education in state schools in Brazil, in the North and in Amapá, between 2012 and 2022. It was carried out in research databases such as Google Scholar, Periodicals CAPES, Mendeley – Reference Management Software, and Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO, between 2012 and 2022. Using the selected descriptors, 52,854 scientific documents were found, of which 11 met the requirements and are part of this review. The Federal Government invested in the expansion and expansion of the EPT and most Brazilian states requested this technical and financial assistance. Efficient supervision of financial resources transferred to states is almost non-existent. This implies discontinuing actions aimed at strengthening, expanding and expanding EPT in the states and updating data by the State Departments of Education in the National Information System for Professional and Technological Education (SISTEC). EPT goes beyond education for marketing purposes. In the state network it needs to be public, polytechnic and of quality. It is necessary to have and carry out more studies and surveys in order to have a greater number of consolidated data about it, and thus increase the understanding of what EPT is like in state education networks in the country.
