PNE (NATIONAL PLAN FOR EDUCATION) 2014 - 2024: IS DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATION A REALLITY?

In the year of 2014 the new National Plan for Education in Brazil came into force (Law 13.005/2014), that among several points resulting of an extensive debate with many sectors of organized civil society, proposes twenty important goals which shall be concluded until the year of 2024. Among these goals the Democratic Management in Education stands out for its relevance. This article aims to discuss the conceptualization of educational management and democratic management, as foundations to the construction of the understanding of this goal, confirming that there is no common sense about the theme and that several difficulties persist for the achievement in a short time (two years since the entry into force of the referred Law)
