For that reason, intersectoral partnerships are necessay, since they require knowledges´ articulation, commitment between institutions, organizations and individuals to reach solutions for complex problems. One example of a public initiative of intersectoral action is the School Health Program (PSE), established in 2007 by the Brazilian Ministries of Health and Education, on the perspective of comprehensive healthcare (prevention, promotion and assistance) of children, adolescents and young people enrolled in the public schools in partnership with basic health units. The evaluation of this policy and its implementation may legitimate Health Promotion and generate evidence that their actions may produce significant changes in the life conditions of individuals, groups and communities. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential of PSE as an instrument of intersectoral action in the context of health promotion in a large municipality. Through a qualitative approach, education professionals and their corresponding teams of the Family Health Strategy were interviewed , and also students who benefited from the program, as well as members of the municipal Working Group of the Intersectoral PSE of Goiânia. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis to formulate emerging analytical categories. From the interviews, the process of implementation of PSE, the perceptions of respondents of the themes developed in the PSE´s projects regarding intersectoral matters, the impact of actions developed in the school community, the facilitators and the shortcomings in undertaking the actions, the PSE´s potential to induce intersectoral actions and future perspectives were described. The results allowed a better understanding of the PSE, showing that there is no evidence of the consolidation of intersectoral actions, but there was an approximation and the emergence of important partnerships and actions aiming the establishment of healthy school environment within the Health Promotion.
