| Sumario: | The contexts that children attend, in addition to family and school, play an important role in schooling, and it is essential to carry out research on these implications. This study investigated the differences in academic performance between participants and non-participants in structured extracurricular activities, developed by a school and a Non-Governmental Organization. Seventy-eight students from a public school, 53 of whom were female, with an average age of 10.57 years (SD=0.57), participated in the research. Students who stayed at home demonstrated higher academic performance compared to those participating in activities offered by a municipal program. This indicates that government public policies have been constituted more as contexts of social protection than of learning. It is concluded that public programs for children must be developed through State policies to actually collaborate in the schooling process. |
