Estado, educação e a formação (anti-capitalista) em tempos de neoliberalismo

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between State, teacher formation and formal education as an inherent part of the process of reproduction of capitalist sociability. Based on the Educational Policy mediated by public and private sectors, documents are elaborated as a regulatory framework of the Brazilian educational system in the service of the adjustments of the heralds of neoliberalism. We evince that formal education takes on the role of forming a surplus of workers for the market and reproduces a portion of instrumental reason as the measure of collective thought, citizenship being the national ideology indicated as a horizon for teachers and students in Brazil through the overvaluation of skills and competences in the political-pedagogical process of educational institutions. Ultimately, experiences between Education and Social Movements, such as the graduate courses in Field Education and Field Schools, have enabled us to observe other paths on human formation in times of crisis of the New Republic in Brazil.
