The article analyzes the experience of privatization of municipal public schools in Maringá (Paraná - Brazil) between 1991 and 1992, called “Cooperative School of Maringá”, considered by the municipal administration (1989-1992) as a school of "public and free education with private micromanagement". The article also presents the concept of New Public Management (NPM) and demonstrates similarities between the model of privatization in Maringá and charter schools in the USA.

Management Issues

The New Public Management, as a philosophy, focuses on providing more quality service to the citizen by delivering it to "the customer", a concept derived from the theory of Total Quality Management. Besides, it contributes to optimizing the decision-making process by linking costs - benefits and taking into account emerging efficiencies, as well as achieving predetermined results - objectives set in specific time frames. Concepts such as indicators, performance, evaluation, due to misuse and mistakes made at the political level in previous years, cause reactions to the educational community, which is distrustful of political leadership and shows the majority is reluctant to participate in processes that their outcome could be interpreted as perceived by the superior authority. There is no doubt that education has the most important contribution to the improvement of human capital from birth to university studies. The Greek Ministry of Interior is responsible for the supervision over decentralized administrations and local authorities (municipalities and regions), coordination and organization of recourse to the popular verdict (elections, referendums), legislation on Greek citizenship and expatriates, and legislation on registers, registries and demographics. So, it can be considered as the main stakeholder for Public Management issues. With a series of Legislation, the roadmap seems to be set. Recently, by the Greek Law 4692/2020, some of the basic concepts of Management are institutionalized, such as the process of planning and evaluation (internal and external) the school unit and Teachers evaluation are being defined. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0770/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Emergence Of Resistance

El profesionalismo docente está reestructurándose como consecuencia de los procesos de neoliberalización. Este artículo estudia la recontextualización de las prácticas neoliberales en el sistema educativo andaluz y su influencia en elejercicio de la práctica docente. Es un estudio cualitativo que utiliza la entrevista semiestructurada en profundidad como técnica susceptible de análisis mediante la Teoría Fundamentada. Se han realizado diez entrevistas en cinco colegios públicos: un/a docente de sexto de primaria y el/la director/a en cada uno de los centros. Para el tratamiento y categorización de la información se ha utilizado el software cualitativo QSR NVivo 11. Los resultados evidencian la consolidación de prácticas de la Nueva Gestión Pública y la emergencia de acciones de resistencia a éstas. Destacan las políticas de gerencialismo, la competencia entre centros, la estandarización educativa y los principios de la cultura performativa como principales cambios que están modificando el profesionalismo docente. Estos cambios políticos están desprofesionalizando la docencia bajo directrices de instrumentalidad técnica y despolitización. Sin embargo, las actitudes de rechazo a esta desprofesionalización docente están generando nuevos espacios de resistencia mediante prácticas de reflexividad, la deconstrucción de discursos hegemónicos y el desarrollo de tareas orientadas a lograr mayor igualdad, equidad y justicia social. Teacher professionalism is getting restructured as a consequence of the different neoliberalisation processes. This article focuses on the recontextualisation of neoliberal practices in the Andalusian educational system and its influence on teaching practices. It is a qualitative study that draws on Grounded Theory and obtains the data through in-depth semi-structured interviews. Ten interviews were conducted in five public schools with a Primary Year-Six teacher and the headmaster of each of the educational centres. For the treatment and categorisation of the information, the QSR NVivo 11 qualitative software was used. The results reveal the consolidation of New Public Management practices andthe emergence of resistance actions against these practices. Managerial policies, inter-school competitions, educational standardisation and the principles of performative culture are the main changes affecting teacher professionalism. These political changes are de-professionalizing teaching practices according to guidelines  of technical instrumentality and depoliticisation. However, rejection attitudes against this de-skilling of teachers are generating new spaces of resistance through reflective practices, the deconstruction of hegemonic discourses and the development of tasks aimed at achieving greater equality, equity and social justice.

New Procedures

The recent reform of the Bundesagentur fijr Arbeit, Germany's Public Employment Service (PES), has introduced elements of New Public Management, including internal controlling and attempts at standardizing assessments ('profiling' of unemployed people) and procedures. Based on qualitative interviews with PES staff, we show that standardization and controlling are perceived as contradicting the 'case-oriented approach' used by PES staff in dealing with unemployed people. It is therefore not surprising that staff members use considerable discretion when (re-)assigning unemployed people to one of the categories pre-defined by PES headquarters. All in all, the new procedures lead to numerous contradictions, which often result in bewilderment and puzzlement on the part of the unemployed.

The Individual

During the past ten years most cantonal forest services have undergone re-organisations. Lucerne's cantonal forest administration initiated a fundamentally new way of providing forestry services by differentiating between sovereign tasks and management tasks. By examining the individual steps of the process we demonstrate how starting with the mandate,goals were developed and implemented over several years. Product managers assumed responsibility for products, as defined in the New Public Management Project, on a cantonal-wide basis. Work within a matrix organisation has led to significant changes. Territorial responsibilities are increasingly assumed by district foresters, who have modern infrastructures at their disposal in the new forestry centres. The re-organisation has led to forest districts being re-drawn and to a reduction in the number of forest regions. To provide greater efficiency,state forest management has been consolidated into a single management unit. The new forest reserve plan removes almost half of the state forest from regular forest management,resulting in a reduction in the volume of work and in the work force. We show how effective the differentiation of sovereignty tasks and management tasks has been in coping with the effects of hurricane Lothar.
