Ações de monitoramento do fluxo escolar e da aprendizagem no ensino geral pelo Departamento de Educação e Ensino na Província do Cunene

Abstract

This master's dissertation, developed in the Professional master’s in education management and Evaluation (PPGP) at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, analyzes school flow in the province of Cunene, in Angola, between the years 2017 and 2024. Based on these elements, the following research question is established: how are the actions of collecting and producing statistical data carried out to propose improvements to the processes of monitoring school flow and learning in the province of Cunene? With the general aim of investigating how the actions of collecting and producing educational statistical data are carried out in the province of Cunene to propose improvements in the processes of monitoring school flow and learning by the Department of Education and Teaching of the Provincial Education Office in Cunene, the research was divided into the following specific objectives: to describe the system of collection and processing of statistical education data required by the Ministry of Education of Angola, in the province of Cunene; to analyze the actions of collecting school statistical data and the processes of monitoring school flow at the provincial level; to propose actions for improving the monitoring of school flow and learning in General Education by the Department of Education and Teaching for decision-making in the Provincial Education Office in Cunene. For the study of school flow, the following authors are referenced: Ribeiro (1991); Klein (2006); Alavarse; Mainardes (2010); Carlos (2019); Tavares Junior (2019); Teixeira et al. (2022). Regarding methodology, we used documentary research, in which we consulted decrees, laws, and reports from the education sector, followed by semi-structured interviews with three public agents from the Provincial Education Office in Cunene, with data processed using L. Bardin's analysis (2011). The research results highlight a provincial school network with a pass rate below 60% in Primary Education and less than 50% in Secondary Education, with problems of age-grade distortion, where girls are at a disadvantage in terms of school promotion, and the flow problems are multifactorial. Based on the research results, we proposed an educational action plan composed of five components, aimed at actions devoted to monitoring school flow data and its continuous evaluation.
