Demandas sociais para a inserção do serviço social na rede pública de educação básica

Abstract

With the approval of Federal Law 13935, on December 11, 2019, all Brazilian states and municipalities must hire social work and psychology professionals for the public basic education network. The social demands that justify the inclusion of social workers in the public education network are the subject of scientific initiation research in which the author participated as a researcher, which supported the preparation of this course conclusion work. This monograph presents considerations regarding the institutional/school educational process, from the point of view of Marxist criticism, with the aim of understanding how education is instrumentalized for the reproduction of the working class and how the social worker can interfere in this logic, in order to , not only guarantee social rights, but, together with other professionals, contribute to the elevation of class consciousness, towards breaking subordination, with a view to human emancipation. It is assumed that social service in education can contribute to the development of critical awareness about the society to which we belong, as well as intervening in the direction of breaking capitalist logic. Bearing in mind what underpins education in the capitalist mode of production, a discussion of the work process was made with the purpose of conceiving education in the capitalist system and who it serves. To understand the mediations between social service and education, the particularities of the school organization in Brazil and the approaches to social service from the perspective of access to social rights are exposed here, considering the institutional requirements of the Brazilian educational system and the professional competences and exclusive attributions of the /a legally regulated social worker, as well as the daily social demands of students and their families and the school community as a whole. The current context of the work of social workers working within the state government and municipal governments and the challenges of implementing Federal Law 13935 in public education networks in the state of Alagoas are presented as a result of bibliographical and exploratory research carried out in the period from 2021 to 2022.
