Trabalho e educação: a reprodução do capital pelo ensino profissional

Abstract

The goal of this article is to present the labour as founding category of the social being. Human activity, in its ontological sense, that differentiates the man from the other animals when tranforming the nature. Humanizing the man himself. We approach in this study the labour issue and its alterations in the elapse of the human history, in specific when occurs the consolidation of the capitalist system, since, inside this system the previous human ideation was aspired by this production act system, the man became to be only the labour force. Therefore, we present the thought of some classical authors of the Marxism such as Ivo Tonet, Sérgio Lessa and Isteván Mészáros which approach the capitalism issue and its relations, mainly the ones that permeate the scope of the discussions on the education in a society divided in classes and search for forms of keeping the social inequalities. Being the education one of the reproduction forms of the capitalist society, we present in this study the professional system as granter of the preparation of the labour force, ensuring this way, by means of education the maintenance of the system itself.
