Georeferencing Management for Optimization of Enrollment Slots in the Municipal Education System of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ

This essay was presented with the aim of suggesting a georeferencing solution to optimize the pre-enrollment process in the education system of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ. Using a mixed methodological approach that combines qualitative and quantitative analysis, collecting new student requests and georeferencing addresses and routing with the offered options, the study analyzed the current enrollment process and developed a new model guided by georeferencing. This was achieved by collecting geospatial data from students' residences and schools for subsequent geographic distribution analysis. The results demonstrated that the implementation of a georeferencing system not only streamlines parents' decision-making process regarding enrollment options but also significantly reduces the distances traveled by students. This optimization has a direct impact on improving the quality of life and academic performance of students, highlighting the effectiveness of georeferencing as a strategic tool in educational management.
