Escola sem partido: uma reflexão sobre as ideologias dos projetos de lei e suas implicações no processo de mercantilização da educação

Abstract

Education has become a stage of great discussions and disputes over the last. decade. In this paper, we discuss the emphasis that education is receiving in the legislative spheres of every country, through the School Without Party bills. Our analysis builds on the general objective of investigating and locating ESP bills, with neoconservative and neoliberal ideological currents. Both currents underwent reformulations in their ideologies, promoting market interests and conservative ideologies. These ideologies gained greater visibility and diffusion from the 1970s on in the United States of America (USA). Linked to the general objective are the specificities of identifying and explaining the moment of birth of the School Without Party movement, exemplifying its proponents and supporters, demonstrating how they are involved with neoliberal and neoconservative currents, as well as the path that the projects of law run in the municipal, state and federal spheres, we will emphasize the analysis of the projects that are in the federal legislative sphere, because we understand that these represent in general context all others that are in the other spheres. Later we will talk with the educational theorists Freire (1996, Tomaz Tadeu (1994), Saviani (1996), Libiliar (1996), trying to understand the educational path that these educator authors deem necessary for the teacher resourcefulness that aims at the autonomous development of the student.
