The basic art education in Aguascalientes, Mexico, faces a significant number of challenges that must be overcome and problems that must be addressed. Among other challenges, the public education system must train a high number of teachers who lack professional qualifications. The system also has to promote the training of its whole teaching staff and satisfy the demand for sufficient pedagogical materials. Thus, the author proposes that higher education must actively get involved with basic education by implementing remedial programs for unqualified teachers. It also must propose continuous education programs to foster a better preparation of the teaching staff and develop research projects that generate knowledge to promote more comprehensive and better-quality art education. The contributions made to the improvement of art education will impact on more sensitive, creative and harmonious human beings.

RESUMO O Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) objetiva incentivar a formação de docentes para a educação básica pública, contribuindo para a valorização do magistério. A presente pesquisa visa avaliar a repercussão do referido programa na qualificação e formação de professores para a educação básica da rede pública, a partir da opinião de alunos do PIBID da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC). Para tanto, três objetivos foram delineados: analisar as repercussões do PIBID na qualificação docente; identificar a influência que o programa exerceu na escolha profissional do egresso; e identificar a percepção do egresso sobre a escola pública durante a experiência como bolsista. Enviou-se questionário para o endereço eletrônico de 584 egressos do PIBID, obtendo-se retorno de 14,4% (n = 84). A partir dos resultados, concluiu-se que o PIBID contribui consideravelmente para a qualificação da formação docente, além de despertar e reforçar o interesse pela docência. Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior, Avaliação Educacional, Formação de Professores. Evaluation of Institutional Program in Initiation in Teaching Scholarship (PIBID): a case study at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC)ABSTRACT The Institutional Program in Initiation in Teaching Scholarship (PIBID) aims to encourage the training of teachers for basic public education, contributing to the enhancement the magisterium.

The focus of this chapter is the management and governance of education at provincial level—specifically on efforts to introduce performance management into education by the Western Cape Education Department (WCED), and their impact. Post-1994 the WCED inherited a bureaucracy that was well placed to manage the province’s large public education system. Subsequently, irrespective of which political party has been in power, the WCED consistently has sought to implement performance management. This chapter explores to what extent determined, top-down efforts, led by the public sector, can improve dismal educational performance. It concludes that the WCED is a relatively well-run public bureaucracy. However, efforts to strengthen the operation of the WCED’s bureaucracy have not translated into systematic improvements in schools in poorer areas. One possible implication is that efforts to strengthen hierarchy might usefully be complemented with additional effort to support more horizontal, peer-to-peer governance at the school level.

Material Basis

The public university education in Bacau, represented by “Vasile Alecsandri” University from Bacau has developed over the past two years not only in terms of student numbers, but as human and material resources available to them. After the number of students per teacher, public higher education from Bacau is situated on the second place after Iasi, the number of teachers representing 1% of the country. The structure by scientific degrees of teachers has improved in the last year, reaching over 36% professors and lecturers and 144 PhDs. Over 55% of the teachers are younger than 40 years. The material basis has improved both quantitatively and qualitatively by putting into use a new building, bringing an additional 27 classrooms and 11 seminar rooms and providing the conditions of modern higher education.

The University

Reasons for public education are many; however, to crystalize and synthesize this, quite simply, public education is for the public good. The goal, or mission, of public education is to offer truth and enlightenment for students, including adult learners. Public education in the United States has undergone many changes over the course of the last 200 years, and now public education is under scrutiny and is facing a continual lack of funding from the states. It is due to these issues that public higher education is encouraging participatory corporate partnerships, or neo-partnerships, that will fund the university, but may expect a return on investment for private shareholders, or an expectation that curriculum will be contrived and controlled by the neo-partnerships. A theoretical framework of an academic mission and a business mission is explained, the impact of privatization within the K-12 model on public higher education, the comparison of traditional and neo-partnerships, the shift in public higher education towards privatization, a discussion of university boards, and the business model as the new frame for a public university. A public university will inevitably have to choose between a traditional academic mission that has served the nation for quite some time and the new business mission, which may have negative implications for students, academic freedom, tenure, and faculty-developed curriculum.

This chapter chronicles the new reality faced by urban teacher unions after the emergence of austerity regimes in many American cities. It charts teacher strikes in St. Louis (1979) and Philadelphia (1980 and 1981). In each case, teacher unions faced staunch taxpayer resistance to salary increases, and in the case of Philadelphia, a mayor who dealt with massive budget deficits by reneging on a collectively-bargained contract. As importantly, in Philadelphia, opponents of the “unproductive” urban poor and unionized teachers began to imagine market reforms of the public education system. The chapter concludes by documenting the emergence of vouchers in order to understand the mounting challenge of neoliberalism to American public education.
