This article presents an analysis of the education policy of continuing education offered by the National Pact for Literacy in the Right Age (called PNAIC), in the practice of the literacy teachers of the municipal school network. For the analysis, we chose, as theoretical-methodological framework, Stephen Ball and his collaborators’ approach of policy cycle: Bowe, Ball e Gold (1992). We also contemplate Mainardes (2006), focusing in this text on the analysis of the third context, the context of practice. The analysis of the voices of the participants of this research allowed to infer that the continuing education of PNAIC is an innovative and necessary action, but not sufficient for an effective promotion of the quality of education. Thus, we argue that the improvement of such quality demands the referral of other practices, which go beyond the continuing teacher education.
