integral education, full-time education, production of the subject.
This work constitutes a study on the Integral Education Policy of the State of Pernambuco for High School and the implementation of the New High School. It is situated within the framework of the state network, specifically through the Reference School in High School Cabo de Santo Agostinho and the Agricultural College Dom Agostinho Ikas of UFRPE, at the federal level. In Pernambuco, Integral Education is consolidated within a neoliberal perspective and under the organization of new public management, which, to some extent, leads us to question the effects that this configuration produces on the subjectivities of students. Therefore, the research has a general objective to analyze what relationships exist between the construction of school knowledge and the production of the student subject. We propose to expand the understanding of how students view and think about full-time schools and the new high school, particularly concerning their contributions to access to higher education and integration into the job market. We will use comparative research as our method, as the study is limited to the municipalities of Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, and Cabo de Santo Agostinho, a municipality in the metropolitan mesoregion. For data collection, we will apply a questionnaire solely for constructing the social profile of the students and narrative interviews to listen to the students' voices. The data analysis will be qualitative, with an explanatory approach, constructed from the considerations of discourse analysis and the biopolitics of Michel Foucault, as well as the policy cycle of Stephen Ball and Richard Bowe. We hope that our research can contribute to the discussion on public education policy and school quality, as well as enhance knowledge regarding the political-administrative-pedagogical functioning of the public education network in this state.
