Progress and challenges in primary school education

The aim of this study is to analyse the Ministro Marcos Freire Municipal School in terms of its administrative, structural and pedagogical aspects, relating it to the school community. To this end, a case study was carried out, in which a bibliographical appraisal was first developed, pertinent to the object of study, i.e. the school. The theoretical framework served as an analytical basis for the research, as well as for the methodological procedures of the observations linked to the school experience. The institution was then visited in order to assess the reality of the school, its community and its administrative and pedagogical management. Based on this situation, the pillars that structure a school (Management, Teachers, Structure, PPP and the School Community) were assessed, using theoretical support at the same time. Based on the data collected, various aspects were observed, including: the objective, philosophy, partnerships, among others. Thus, it was found that the Pedagogical Political Project is well structured and the school is open to all types of school projects and partnerships.
