A contrareforma do ensino médio no contexto do estado brasileiro neoliberal

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the political and economic assumptions of the high school counter-reform of 2017, with regard to worker training, relating it to the principles and foundations of the flexible capital accumulation model on which training is based. of the worker. We had as research guiding questions: (1) What is the relationship established between work and education in capitalist society? (2) What are the educational reforms regarding worker training in the 1990s and the role of the state in this neoliberal scenario? (3) What political, social and economic conjuncture did the high school reform take place in 2017? (4) What are the relationships established between the 2017 high school counter-reform and the flexible capital accumulation model for worker training? For the accomplishment of the research the dialectical historical materialist method was used (MARX, 1818-1883). It was a documentary research in which works and documents that were constituted from the following sources were analyzed: Law 13.415 of 2017, Resolution No. 3 of 2018 / MEC and recently published works that deal with the counter-reform of 2017 (articles, dissertations, theses and books). The dialectical historical materialism allowed for an analysis of the structure and dynamics of the categories: work and education, educational reform, state and neoliberalism, as well as to understand the relations established among themselves, the determinations, the contradictions and the social transformations. We had as theoretical reference: Marx (2004; 1998; 2017), Saviani (2008), Frigotto (2006), Kuenzer (1997), Diogenes (2013). Partial outcomes can thus be defined: the 2017 high school counter-reform aims at adapting the worker to the flexible capital accumulation model, thereby further limiting the training of subjects dependent on the public education system by imposing a reduction in the curriculum through of the so-called training itineraries, focused on a fragmented formation, based on the expected behavior for workers through skills, abilities and flexibility.
