FROM THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION TO THE RIGHT TO PLAY: reflections on public policies for early childhood education

ABSTRACT

This work is a qualitative biographical research, which aims to reflect the right to education and play of children who are the target audience of Early Childhood Education (El), for this, we resorted to the main educational public policies aimed at implementation of these rights, from which, we highlight the Common National Curriculum Base - BNCC (2017), the National Curriculum Reference for Early Childhood Education - RCNEI (1998), the Child and Adolescent Statute - ECA (1990), the Laws of Guidelines of Bases of National Education - LDB (1961;1971;1996), among other documents, we also rely on the studies of theorists such as Aries (1978), Saviane (2008;2018), Kunz (2015), among other authors. In this work, it is possible to perceive the gradual historical evolution of the conception of the child, currently recognized as a subject of rights, including the right to education and play in El institutions. We also emphasize our considerations about the defense of the child's right to education and to play, even in times of the Covid-19 pandemic and the absence of public policies in this adverse context.
