PROPOSAL FOR A UNIFIED SYSTEM FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ASSOCIATIONS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF TECHNICAL SCHOOLS (01)

Conceived to listen to the voice of the community and manage the school's financial resources, the Association of Parents and Teachers [APM] can be an extremely important democratic tool of law for the school community. Even with advances in legislation, bureaucracy and the lack of integration between systems have significantly harmed pedagogical actions in front of school units. The objective of the article was to propose the creation of a unified system, called APMx, for the centralization of all accountability platforms and improvement of the financial management of public schools. Still in the process of being implemented, the system will be able to create a communication network between associations and their members, enabling transparency in public resources and fostering public policies with real data on the financial situations of school units. The study was developed through the case study methodology, with a data collection instrument through documentary research and application of questionnaires. All 223 public technical school directors in the State of São Paulo were consulted, this being the total of the universe. It is concluded that the applied structure of the program is consistent with the main needs of these collegiate bodies, from registering students to issuing technical opinions and organizing pedagogical events, in a practical and objective manner.
