A construção de um currículo neoliberal para o Ensino Médio brasileiro

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the High School Reform, under Temer, as a victorious political project. It proposes to investigate the nature of the project and its contradictions, and how it was possible for such a project to have survived progressive governments. This text assumes that the National Common Curricular Base for Secondary Education (BNCC) is a concrete manifestation of the same concepts that have animated neoliberal policies in education since redemocratization. We analyzed the implementation of the BNCC based on two interviews, one by Maria Helena Guimarães de Castro (2016), which focused on the management of the former Minister of Education Paulo Renato, during the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and the by Rossieli Soares (2019), whose interview took place around his own management at the head of the Ministry and also the management of Mendonça Filho, after the 2016 coup. We conclude that the dominance of the managerial model reduces the logic of social rights to rationality from the economic universe, naturalizing the view of education as a commodity and schooling as training for a competitive market system; management model whose basis is found in neoclassical economic thinking and the use of evaluation methodologies, with limited results.
