A EDUCAÇÃO BRASILEIRA: PERSPECTIVAS PARA A FORMAÇÃO OMNILATERAL EM TEMPOS DE CAPITALISMO

Abstract

The objective of the article is to indicate that contemporary Brazilian school education can contribute significantly to the process of all-round training of subjects, even in times of neoliberalism. It is not a naive vision of education, but rather to believe in the researches and studies made over the last decades, such as Critical Historical Pedagogy, which equips us for the struggle, which is so necessary today. To organize the discussion, two topics complement each other. The first presents elements about the current format of Brazilian education, designed by the neoliberal profile that, led by the international guidelines, consolidate the New Public Management. This way of managing education, defines what we have today: education for skills, skills, meritocracy among other categories which insert the logic of the market in this sector. Recognized the challenges posed by this format of education, the second topic of the article, indicates possibilities for the omnilateral formation from elements referring to dialectical historical materialism and critical historical pedagogy. The methodology consists of the bibliographic study of these two perspectives. Finally, we believe that another education is possible, because we already have sufficient theoretical support for a more humanizing praxis of education. As a result, we expect perspective and fearlessness in the face of reforms that place education increasingly at the service of capital.
