About the Journal

Focus and Scope

The Online Journal of Educational Policy and Management (RPGE) is a Continuous Publication (since 2022) of the Department of Education and the Graduate Program in School Education of the Faculty of Sciences and Letters – FCLAr/Unesp – Qualis A3 (2017–2020), and the NEAME Research Group.

Among its contributors are students and professors from Higher Education Institutions, undergraduate, master's, and doctoral researchers and supervisees, as well as a group of professionals working in the field of Education and related areas, such as professionals from different levels of education and educational activities, occupational therapists, psychologists, educational psychologists, speech therapists, social workers, among others. All executive tasks of RPGE are under the responsibility of the Faculty of Sciences and Letters at UNESP, Araraquara campus.

The main field of analysis is Education in a broad sense, in both its political and management dimensions. These are wide-ranging fields that allow for reflections and debates across various scopes, considering the area’s inherent complexity and, consequently, the difficulty of comprehensive understanding. The various professionals and institutions mentioned are eligible to submit manuscripts for review, provided they are researchers with a minimum degree equivalent to a Master’s. Submissions from undergraduate students (with their respective advisors holding at least a Master’s degree) and from Master’s and Doctoral Programs are accepted as long as they are co-authored by their advisors. Upon submission, the author must include co-author(s) and ensure the following information is correctly provided: academic degree, Lattes Curriculum URL, ORCID, institutional affiliation, and a biographical summary. Manuscripts will not be accepted if the author and co-authors' registrations are incomplete.
