Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental: a realidade das escolas municipais do Parque e da Floresta, em Santarém(PA), Brasil

Abstract

The National Policy for Environmental Education - PNEA was instituted by Law No. 9.795/99, which established the obligation to disseminate Environmental Education (EA) in schools due to the improvement of the environment. In the municipality of Santarém - PA, two environmental education centers were founded - EA: Municipal School of the Forest (2008) and Municipal School of the Park (2010). As schools are a reference in the EA in the municipality of Santarém - PA, this study sought to answer the following questions: How has the National Environmental Education Policy, Law No. 9.795/99 been developed in the Park and Forest schools? In this sense, a research has as its main objective to analyze the development of PNEA, Law 9.795/99, through the work of the schools of the Forest and the Park, disseminating poles of Environmental Education in the Municipal Education Network, in the municipality of Santarém (PA). A research was developed through qualitative study, supported by bibliographic, documentary and field research. An analysis of the data took place through Content Analysis. The data revealed a lack of articulation between a proposal of the National Policy of EE in the Municipal Education Plans - SMEs analyzed, or that demonstrated the absence of PNEA in the discussions held in the process of building SMEs. We observed the students of the polo schools that make work proposals for the other schools of the municipal school system, however, after 2013, a proposal of the schools undergoes changes that affect the work objectives of the schools. Thus, it is worth reflecting, meaningless to draw the attention of the government, in this case, a SEMED, to the need to activate the guarantee department of PNEA with quality and the need to expand the work already developed by the schools studied.
