This research, conducted between 2022 and 2024, had the main objective of investigating the implementation of Full-Time High School (Ensino Médio em Tempo Integral - EMTI) in a state school in Minas Gerais, referred to, here, by the fictitious name "E.E. Renascer." The specific objectives were: a) to describe the school and the implementation of Ensino Médio em Tempo Integral based on a case study methodology at E.E. Renascer; b) to analyze the implementation process of the mentioned educational policy in accordance with the relevant literature; and c) to propose, based on the data and analysis, an Educational Action Plan (Plano de Ação Educacional - PAE) to improve the EMTI implementation and, consequently, enhance the quality of high school education at E.E. Renascer. The analysis were based on literature related to full education and full-time education, curriculum, policy, and educational management. Notable in this work are the studies by Teixeira (1994-1997), Ribeiro (1984), Arroyo (2012), Moll (2009), Cavaliere (2002-2010), and Demo (2011). Additionally, relevant studies on policy, educational management, and curriculum were considered. Using the case study methodology, students, school management, and teachers were identified as key participants for the field research. Group conversations were held with students, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teaching staff. Based on the analysis of the field research data, an Educational Action Plan (PAE) was developed. It is expected that the implementation of this plan will offer perspectives that can contribute to improving the quality of education offered at E.E. Renascer.
