• Abstract:

  This work seeks to capture the vision of school leaders about the role of educational policies in guaranteeing the right to education. It indicates the conceptions built by school directors in their professional performance in the challenge of bringing security to school units. The study also contemplates the mediation carried out by managers in the implementation of policies in everyday school life. For that, interviews were carried out with 12 school principals from municipal and state public schools in the North region of Ceará. The results show that the interviewees' discourse focuses on the pedagogical dimension. According to the directors, a good policy is one that focuses on student learning, involves the community and prioritizes teacher training. They emphasize, however, that the school reality does not always present favorable conditions for this accomplishment.
