PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE ASSISTÊNCIA ESTUDANTIL NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO INSTITUTO FEDERAL GOIANO – CAMPUS MORRINHOS

Abstract

This research is developed in the social and educational public policies field, more specifically the student assistance policies and professional and technological education. The investigation aims to identify how the Student Assistance Policy (PAE) is offered in high school technical courses at IF Goiano Morrinhos and what the possible implications of the development of such policy are, regarding the permanence and success of the students from the r eferred courses. This is a qualitative research typified as a case study. The research was based on documentary and bibliographic investigation, and field research using questionnaires and interviews. The historical survey of professional education in Braz il showed that the educational duality is present up to the present day and integrated high school can be considered as a “Passage” to a new reality. For this possibility to be offered to students, they need to effectively know the institution in which the y are inserted, as well as the programs and projects that can contribute to their permanence and success. However, the research demonstrated that most students do not know the National Student Assistance Program (PNAES), object of this study. Given this, a n Integrated Technical Courses Student Guide was developed as educational product, an instrument that allows students to learn about the Pnaes actions implemented and how each one is developed at Morrinhos campus.
