Descripción
Sumario:This essay discusses the structural crisis of capitalism, a thesis advocated by István Mészáros (2002), and the neoliberal strategies for overcoming the crisis and resuming the economy, led by big capital and mediated by the Brazilian State. In this regard, we analyze the productive restructuring in this neoliberal context and its consequences in public education, from the last decades of the 20th century onwards. We carried out a bibliographic-documentary review of the neoliberal model-adapted education to the production and accumulation in the capital crisis taking the critical perspective as a theoretical-methodological framework. In general terms, we attest that the flexibilization of labor relationships imposed by the productive restructuring has adjusted education to this business concept, attributing to the school the management forms of efficiency for training this new worker. Brazilian education privatization has expanded, especially in the context of the capital crisis, aggravated by health crisis resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
