Abstract

The paper analyses the implementation of the public policy in Child Education (EI) through the partnership with Civil Society Organizations, in the state of Rio de Janeiro (ERJ) and the Baixada Fluminense (BF), between 2008 and 2019. The methodological option is the empirical research, using documental and bibliographical research and the construction of information with treatment of primary data. Presents the history of service to the stage; establishes the context of the investigation; and analyzes the policy of partnership. Studies indicate that the increased access to EI occurs due to partnerships of the public power with institution with non-economic purposes. Of 92 cities in the ERJ, in 2008, 36 formed partnerships, receding, in 2019, to 34. In the 13 cities in the BF, it increased from 2, in 2008, to 6 in 2019. We observed in ERJ enrollment in partnerships increased 53.6 % and in BF increased 164.6 % in the period. The universe of enrollment in the stage in 2008 (in day-care and pre-school) is 619058 in ERJ and 105389 in BF, with the percentage of enrollment in partnerships representing 5.6 % (34884) and 3.2 % (3399), respectively. Despite general impression, the extension is due to the increase in municipal attendance, counting on support from the private network, especially private units with economic purposes.
