School-Territory: the school's relationship with the community

More about the book

The study explores the interaction between Beato Eugênio Mazenod Municipal School and its community, emphasizing participatory management where all members influence decisions. The school has improved significantly, ranking among the best in Recife. Initially, it reflects capitalist culture catering to middle-class interests, but the state mediates rather than the elite. Ultimately, the school exemplifies how educational institutions can transform and integrate local culture and territory, highlighting the complex dynamics of community involvement in education.
