Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE): um estudo da efetividade nas escolas públicas de Sousa/PB.

Abstract

This work aims to verify the execution of the National School Feeding Program - PNAE and enable an analysis of its effectiveness in public schools in the city of Sousa-PB. To achieve the results, four schools were used, where interviews were conducted with public policy agents, verifying some aspects required by the PNAE legislation. It is a program of great relevance in the educational scope, in view of its importance in the quality of life of the users, and that despite the low allocated resource, the school management is fundamental for its performance and execution. This research has reached a satisfactory degree, however for schools to achieve the mandatory requirements pre-established in the PNAE, there are limitations that go beyond what the school administration can accomplish. Thus, there is a need for studies in the program in different aspects, such as administrative, accounting and public policies.
