Abstract: This article presents a critical analysis of literacy public policies implemented in the state of Ceará, with a special focus on the establishment of the Literacy at the Right Age Program (PAIC) and its developments. Based on a qualitative approach—grounded in bibliographic review and documentary analysis—it examines the tension between a managerial rationality driven by standardized assessments and targets, and a conception of literacy as an ethical, emancipatory, and integral educational process. The article discusses the dominance of a performative culture that, although effective in improving proficiency rates in early primary education, tends to reduce literacy to a technocratic procedure disconnected from the learners’ social, cultural, and territorial realities. Drawing on authors such as Freire, Arroyo, Soares, and Ball, the study argues for a literacy policy that restores the centrality of pedagogical listening, the plurality of knowledge, and the dignity of childhoods, understanding public education as a space for recognition, dialogue, and social transformation. It concludes by proposing pathways toward a critical and humanizing literacy, capable of articulating the technical achievements of educational management with the ethical-political imperatives of citizenship formation.
