A inserção do assistente social na política da educação no Município de Araucária/PR

Abstract

This research seeks to understand how social workers can contribute to guaranteeing the right to education, understood from a broader perspective that considers the multiple social determinants that affect school life. The overall objective is to analyze current educational legislation that ensures the inclusion of social workers in educational policy, with an emphasis on its application in the context of the municipality of Araucária. The methodology used is documentary and bibliographic in nature, with qualitative analysis based on historical-dialectical materialism. The theoretical framework is anchored in authors central to the debate on social work and education and intellectuals in education such as Marilda Iamamoto, José Paulo Netto, Sarita Amaro, Carlos Roberto Jamil Cury, Dermeval Saviani, Maria Lúcia da Silva Barroco, Vicente de Paula Faleiros, in addition to the principles of the Ethical-Political Project of Social Work. The research shows that Social Work is in the process of building foundations for the consolidation of its role in the educational policy of Araucária/PR. Although there are still many challenges to be faced in the municipality, it is observed that the inclusion of social workers has contributed to the promotion of a more inclusive and democratic education. This action strengthens the link between the school and social protection networks, promoting more qualified mediation between the school, family, and community.
