O ideário empresarial na gestão das Escolas de Educação Profissional do Ceará – reflexões sobre a Tecnologia Empresarial Socioeducativa (TESE)

Abstract

Work and education are activities that accompany the development of the human being as a social being. In contemporary Capitalism the project for Education has been to subscribe it to a tool for the rapid formation of a workforce adapted to the new demands of flexible production. In view of this, the experience of Ceará with the State Schools of Professional Education (EEEP) stands out as of 2008, as part of the federal program for the expansion of professional education. In these institutions, the company-school idea resulting from the management model based on the Socio-Educational Business Technology (TESE) is put into practice. In EEEP, the discourse about the relationship between work and education is used as a tool to convince and naturalize an individualistic and meritocratic worldview. Therefore, the possibilities of resistance to this conception of education must be built precisely on the relationship between work and education. This article aims to briefly investigate the assumptions of business management put into practice in the EEEP, thus aiming to highlight the limits of the professionalization project. in high school as a mechanism for insertion into the job market and improving the quality of life. This investigation is based on the historical-dialectical method where we assume the object of study as a phenomenon in constant movement, identifying the relations and determinations of the particularities with the totality.
