Abstract

As of 1990, in Sao Paulo State Public System, Public Policies, Programs and Projects have been generated with the aim of addressing phenomena related to the lack of access to Education and high dropout and repetition rates, outcomes of the system of school exclusion.Thus, through national policies of universal access, those issues about quality of Education began to be evaluated by more sophisticated system. One of the indices used in Sao Paulo State is the Sistema de Avaliação de Resultados do Estado de Sao Paulo SARESP, that evidenced that a significant number of children were not being benefited by the schools, attending advanced grades of Ensino Fundamental, often not knowing to write or read, or knowing little; on other words, the school failure was taking another appearance, more subtle, less perceptible. Those findings have generated programs to face those problems, as Ler e Escrever Program, having as one of its development the PIC classes. In this direction, studying this realm allows us to understand aspects of the constitution of this political proposal in Sao Paulo State. Therefore, this study aims to analyze constitutive aspects of PIC, within school quotidian, from a critical perspective in School Psychology, in order to contribute to the understanding of the schooling process, in the direction of Education as a social right. PIC classes are intended for children who attend third grade of Ensino Fundamental and who do not have the minimum requirements for that level, which are being able to write and read. Ler e Escrever is a recent program, implemented in the Sao Paulo State Public Education System, in 2008, and was originated from the Sao Paulo City Education System, in 2006. From an ethnographic case study, it was performed weekly visits, within a year school, in a third grade PIC class, of a Sao Paulo state public school, interviews with the school pedagogical coordinator and the class teacher, and talking with the students in small groups. It was sought to understand the object of study by shifting between several sources and the documents compassing the official speech, as the program resolutions, the presentation of the pedagogical material, texts available on the website of the program and testimonials of the managers responsible for the Program Letra e Vida, through triangulation analysis of these material.Thus, from the analysis, it was found that PIC classes, although it brings originally an official recognition that children were not learning, offering actions to reverse this situation, is a consequence of the precarious condition of work present in schools, of the structural difficulties faced by the Sao Paulo Public System and that still could not break away from the criticism based on homogenizing practices, intensifying labels attributed to students who show difficulties in the schooling process and not breaking away from the teachers situation of isolation when performing their tasks. This research corroborates other studies that have claimed that school practices that are carried out within programs that aim to face schooling difficulties are inserted in Public education system policies, being crossed by difficulties and challenges still present in those policies (AU)
