The main objective of this study was to try to establish possible connections between the politics of Municipalização of schools and the proposal of management project rendered by the State Reform. The methodology used during this study was helped by the documental analysis, the collecting of the theoretical production of this subject, as well as the analysis of the statistical results of basic education offer between 1996 and 2004. The study shows that the politics of decentralization and management modernization defended by the State Reform have guided the politics of decentralization and that of focusing on the financing of education, such as the one created by the Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento do Ensino Fundamental e Valorização do Magistério FUNDEF, which has influenced the Municipalização of primary schools in Brazil because of its characteristics, specially in the state of Pará. The proposal of Municipalização of the state government has today the participation of 61,1% of the towns and has as its objective to universalize this process through all the one hundred and forty three towns until the year 2007. The concern which makes the state government come up with this politics is based more on the economical-financing scenario, typical of the management proposed by the State Reform, then the improvement of the democratic management of the public politics made possible by the proximity of the local authorities, demands which were required by the social manifestation of the 80s. The participation of the local governments itself, once this participation mainly happened in 97 and 98 (the years when the FUNDEF was implanted in Pará), shows the little time given to planning by these authorities who overloaded themselves with a lot of responsibilities without an accurate assessment of the educational management conditions for the new demands. If, at one side, there is, on the proposal, an extreme concern with the aspects that envolve the rationalization of the resource uses, one of the main aspects of the management, at another side there is a huge fragility not only regarding the social control of these resources shown by the denounces of FUNDEV resources deviation, but also by the non-existence of a Local Education Council in more than 90% of the towns, which makes it difficult the feasibility of a democratic management in these places. The efficiency of the educational management, one of the basic principles of the management and the proposal of Municipalização of the teaching in Pará is, furthermore, compromised by the SEDUC conclusion; that towns, with rare exceptions, act, in general, managing only the present.Acesso AbertoEducação e EstadoEnsino fundamentalMunicipalizaçãoPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::PLANEJAMENTO E AVALIACAO EDUCACIONAL::POLITICA EDUCACIONAL
