Sustainability practices in state schools in Guarapuava (PR)
Abstract
Due to the important role educational institutions play in the citizenship education of individuals and their communities, these institutions are tasked with disseminating good practices of socio-environmental responsibility and sustainable development strategies. This article presents the results of a case study aimed at identifying sustainability practices in the management of state schools in Guarapuava (PR). The parameters were based on the A3P – Environmental Agenda in Public Administration – Social and Environmental Sustainability Model Worksheet. Seventeen state public schools, located in the investigated municipality, formed the sampling of this quantitative-qualitative research. Data were obtained through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the directors of the institutions. The results indicate that the schools implement good sustainability practices, aligned with the parameters of the A3P Worksheet, albeit occasional and not continuous practices. One of the difficulties identified with these practices is the delay in the training of directors so that they can lead their institutions in agreement with the complex environmental, social, and economic transformations of contemporary times.
