Socio-digital inclusion: National Programme for Educational Informatics / BR

Created in 1997 and reformulated in 2007, the National Programme of Educational Technologies (Proinfo) is the state public policy for socio-digital inclusion implemented by the Ministry of Education (MEC), maintained with funds from the National Fund for Education Development (FNDE) and coordinated by the Secretariat of Basic Education (SEB / MEC) which aims to promote the pedagogical use of computers in the public basic education network. Through the Educational Technology Centres / Municipal Educational Technology Centres (NTE's / NTM's) it aims at training educational agents for the appropriation and use of ICTs in education. In this perspective, this work aimed to verify whether Proinfo has promoted the training of educational agents for the use of ICTs in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte and, to this end, it was necessary to analyze the documentation of the implementation of Proinfo, locate and visit the NTE's / NTM's and schools attended and raise the projects that develop. The research had a qualitative and quantitative nature; as to the level it was a descriptive explanatory research that used the strategies of bibliographic research, survey and observation.
