The research, of a qualitative nature, had as interpretative reference the historical – critical approach, based on Dermeval Saviani (2015). The empirical bases for the research were semi-structured interviews with professionals who had some experience with flow correction programs as well as their documents, taking as an indication the documentary analysis proposed by Cellard (2012), which enabled us to build a collection made up of pieces gathered in various collections, including projects, advertising pieces, videos, regulations, statements in newspapers, among other documents published on electronic media hosted by the institutions involved, as well as testimonies. In an attempt to analyze the data in a manner coherent with our theoretical perspective, we chose as analytical keys the concepts of Hegemony and Organic Intellectuals developed by Gramsci (2001; 2007);Managerialism addressed by Newman and Clarke (2012) and Corporate Social Responsibility present in the systematic developed by Lopes and Silva (2020). The results of this research were organized into three textual sections. In the first textual section we present that the new organizational paradigm of the Brazilian State was nourished by the fetishism of efficient management, the need to manage well while spending less, using the New Public Management model and resorting to managerialism as an ideological strategy to guarantee the market’s freedom to manage. In the second section, we present the IAS and its layers of action, placing the institution in the universe of public-private partnerships and seeking to reveal the implications of its participation in the construction of Brazilian public educational policies. In the discussion presented in the last textual section, we brought elements that demonstrate how the IAS interferes in the relationships and pedagogical organization of schools. With this, we problematize educational management from a business perspective, governed by the principles of efficiency, effectiveness, control, hierarchization of relationships, centralization of power and development of skills, and the implications caused in the appearance of the educational system in Feira de Santana.
