Formação de profissionais para atuar na Assistência Social: análise do Plano Estadual de Educação Permanente na Bahia

Abstract

This work is an exploratory documental research that aims to investigate whether the State Plan for Permanent Education of the Single Social Assistance System of Bahia (PEEP/SUAS/BA) includes theoretical-methodological and ethical-political references that converge with the principles and guidelines of the National Social Assistance System (PNAS) and the National Policy for Permanent Education of the Unified Social Assistance System (PNEP/SUAS). The analysis took place in two stages: the reading of PEEP/SUAS/BA seeking to identify convergences with the principles and guidelines of the PNEP/SUAS and the PNAS, followed by the gathering of information and analysis of the plan from 3 blocks: political and pedagogical; methodological foundations; and training paths. It was observed that the plan reflects in its text the legal and normative frameworks of PNAS and PNEP/SUAS, advocating that continuing education actions are guided by the work processes and diagnosis of each territory where they will be implemented. In general, the plan is aligned with public policies and seeks to respond to the training demands of professionals, the consolidation of the social protection network and the implementation of a culture of permanent education in the State of Bahia.
