Neoliberalismo e as reformas do século XXI: o impacto na educação brasileira

Abstract

The essay theme is to foster a critical review of neoliberalism and its actions in public policies in Brazil, including an educational culture there. The speech of Friedman and his disciples affiliated with the Chicago School evidenced, from the 1970s onwards, a total demoralization of the school as a space for knowledge and human formation, lowering it to the condition of merchandise. In this sense, it is deliberate and conscious and not random, the exposure of the material problems of the school, as if it were something strict only of the direct responsibility of the institution, forgetting consciously that many times precedes reality is due to conjunctures of fiscal adjustment and economic-financial crisis . There is an attempt and certainly a successful one in the consciousness of many people that the school is separate from the society of the State. It all comes down to the issue of management. However, a perverse characteristic linked to the ideology of the neoliberal Minimum State is shown mainly when we examine, but in the opposite sense of the above, the maintenance of the pattern of poverty and the impossibilities historically imposed on the popular classes.
