Formação humana ou para trabalhar? Um outro caminho é necessário

Abstract

This study introduces a debate that we intend to raise on the path of training offered in schools for young Brazilians, today clearly marked by the duality of the educational system, one school for the ruling classes and another for the working class. Our analysis will be documented, that is, will have as a source the bibliographic production on the educational system in Brazil, we will use SAVIANI (2007), FRIGOTTO (2005 2016), MÈSZAROS (2008) and others. It is clear that, historically, there has always been a formative process for class the dominant and another for the rest of the population, yet the capitalist system builds the illusion of social ascension for those who absorb a valuable 'cultural capital' and through meritocracy there will be the possibility of material redemption. This is sold by the educational system at all levels and modes of teaching. We understand that to change social reality, social struggle is not enough, it is necessary to do it by altering the whole structure of the educational system. In this text we do not (yet) point the way, but we affirm that it is necessary to construct it.
