Class Analysis of Public Policies

The UC is quite relevant for the master's degree in view of the fact that it allows the development of knowledge at the macro level, not only in the formulation of policies, but also at the level of the instruments necessary for its analysis. On the other hand, the comprehension and analytical capacity of public policies, within which we find the educational policies, is crucial to understand and identify modes of regulation in education, but also to develop critical capacity in relation to the meso level, namely in regarding the school management, fundamental for the students of this course.
