“Decifra-me ou te devoro”: o salário dos professores da rede pública estadual de ensino do Pará como alienação e exploração

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the salary of the teachers of the state public education system of Pará from the perspective of alienation and exploitation. The objective is to analyze whether teachers understand (or not) the composition of their salaries and how the state government, through the State Department of Education (SEDUC) takes advantage of this condition to alienate the action of teachers, limiting their conscious action. The main basis for the construction of this analysis was through an analytical theoretical study of the categories: work, alienation, remuneration and salary; making the crossing of legislation and the composition of the remuneration, from documents and interviews with teachers of the public network aiming to identify their effects on the (un) appreciation of teachers in the last fifteen years (2007-2018). In this context, it analyzes the payroll policy of the governments of Ana Julia Carepa (PT) and Simão Jatene (PSDB) and the role of SINTEPP as a class entity in the defense of professional valuation. For that, we adopted as a methodological resource bibliographical and documentary research, as well as interviews. The theoretical contribution adopted was based on historical materialism in the sense of explaining the contradictions and mediations between the role of the State and the government in the definition of salaries and the limits on the teachers' conscience in the search for professional valorization. From the interviews with teachers from the public education network of Paraense, the results show a marked lack of knowledge about their work relationship, their rights and their salary, showing that there is an alienated view of their relationship with the fruit of their work.
