Well-being is well-living?

how education can weave a healthy society?

Abstract

This article addresses the theme of health in the Municipal Educational Plans of Juiz de Fora/MG (Law No. 13.502/2017) and Niterói/RJ (Law No. 3.234/2016). The choice of these two cities is justified because they have relative population equity in terms of population, political and social development, capable of providing good parameters for the comparative analysis of the intended data. However, this is essentially a bibliographic and qualitative research, insofar as it prioritizes reflective analyses on a generating theme. Among the theoretical references that offered subsidies to this analysis, notable figures as Paulo Freire (1979), Rubem Alves (1993) and Gersem Luciano (2006), and Han (2015), whose conceptual analyzes go beyond literacy issues, including broad analyzes about the social and political environment in which the teaching and learning process are included. The research, still under development, has contributed to the expansion of the debate around the theme through a critical/reflective analysis. It is intended, through this analysis, to consider the need to include/extend this perspective within the National Plan of Education (NEPs) that have not adequately addressed it yet, turning to other models whose perspectives of health/well-being/well-living can fill the gaps presented. The realization of this work is the kick-off towards the development of subsequent analyses, which will cover other NEPs and other aspects such as the perception of the applicability of these regulations in the daily lives of education professionals, students and communities, raising the debate around the issue, which deserves to be expanded and disseminated, so that education can weave a healthier society.
