Implications of private sector action in the reorganization of the middle level public school in Mato Grosso do Sul

The article analyzes the public-private partnership signed between the Institute of Co-responsibility for Education (ICE) and the State Department of Education, in the process of implementing the reform of Full-Time Secondary Education in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, which began with the “School of Authorship” program (2014-2018). The aim was to identify the content of private entity interference in defining the education policy of the state education system. The research carried out was bibliographic, documentary and empirical. The results indicate that corporate social responsibility, supported by the legal framework at federal and state level, was the justification found by the third sector to work in education. The research results indicate that there is a transfer of responsibility, interference in education policy and subordination of state schools to the ideologies and form of didactic-pedagogical organization of this private Institute, which deepens the process of commodification of education in the respective state.
