E- Tec Brasil: a educação a serviço do capital

Abstract

This study was guided through the prism of Marxist ontology, aims to analyze, from the perspective of labor, the educational policy of the Technical College System of Brazil Open (E-Tec), as a worker's training. E-Tec, established by Decree 6301 in December 2007, already deployed in thirteen Brazilian states and being implemented in other states and the Federal District, it is proposed to provide training for middle level technical workers for the distance the outskirts of large Brazilian cities and the Regional and Local Productive Arrangements (APL). It starts with the assumption that the E-Tec, directly in tune with the current design of the com modification of education, political action is to deepen the process of streamlining and fragmentation of knowledge produced by man throughout history, and transmitted to the worker by public school education. It is a theoretical and research literature and public documents, supported at first, reviewing the texts focused on the clarification of the complex relationships between work, education and reproduction of capital, the characterization of these relationships in the present crisis of capital, defined by Mészáros (2009), as a structural character, elements which are the basis for a Marxist analysis of the object of study here focused. The literature review will continue, to revisit the issue of Brazilian education, linking it with the genesis and evolution of distance education in their national boundaries. The document review, in turn, includes the paraphernalia law, in the form of laws and ordinances, which establish and regulate distance education, and particularly the E-Tec as a modality for worker training. The survey results indicate that, in effect, the E-TEC as EAD applied to any level of education, has eventually be a tool of education of workers in the service of capital, since its structure and determinations are organized to meet the needs of the market at the expense of those genuinely human, growing fainter by the possibility of a comprehensive training of the worker to assume, as a perspective, the emancipation of man.
