The Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) received this Thursday, 28th, the analytical report from the Management Contract Monitoring and Assessment Committee (CAACG) of the Ministry of Education (MEC) for the year 2021. The institution achieved 98% of the grade established for the goals, with 13 of its 14 indicators established by the ministerial body for the year in question. The indicators are parameters for measuring the quality of education and services provided to the population of Rio Grande do Norte through ISD units: the Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center (Anita), and the Edmond and Lily International Institute of Neuroscience Safra (IIN-ELS), located in the municipality of Macaíba (RN).

The ISD Management Contract aims to define action strategies to fulfill the institution's mission as a Social Organization that executes public policies, the impact of which is measured through performance indicators and targets agreed between the ISD and the MEC. The report is evaluated by a commission constituted by the ministerial body, made up of experts in the ISD's areas of activity. In addition to this assessment, CAACG also proposes recommendations, possible corrective actions and new goals and horizons to be achieved by the Institute.

“Much of the growth and maturity that ISD experiences today is due to the synergistic effect that CAACG has had in this continuous monitoring and evaluation process. This monitoring takes place every six months and this continuity of observation and analysis, added to the solid professional profile of the evaluators, has contributed greatly to improving our institutional processes and practices. I always repeat that our evaluators are part of the ISD and that they are directly responsible for the success we have achieved in our work”, highlighted the general director of the ISD, Reginaldo Freitas Jr.

He represented the institution at the meeting, alongside the administrative director, Jovan Gadioli; the IIN-ELS manager, Edgard Morya; and Anita's manager, Lilian Lisboa. “We are very pleased to see how the Institute’s goals are achieved by you in your daily practices”, highlighted the president of CAACG, Fábio César Braga de Abreu e Lima.

ISD's administrative director, Jovan Gadioli, highlighted the importance of the evaluations and recommendations made by the Commission so that ISD's practices always have constant improvement on the horizon. “They ensure that we are always pursuing the goals established by the MEC and responsible management in relation to our core activities, without neglecting the fiscal commitment to the administrative activities necessary to achieve our objectives”, he highlighted.

The Commission is composed of Fábio César Braga de Abreu e Lima, from the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), president of the commission; Felipe von Glehn Silva, from the University of Brasília (UnB); Renato Evangelista de Araújo, from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE); Laerte Davi Cleto and Sylvia Helena Figueiredo Prata, from the Ministry of Economy; and Eudes Gomes Pereira, from the Ministry of Education. In addition to the full members of the Commission, Vinicius Nunes and Jacqueline Silva, both representatives of the MEC, also participated in the meeting.
