Crise de 2007/2008 e Banco Mundial: os ajustes estruturais e suas relações com a contrarreforma do ensino médio

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the extent to which World Bank formulations have followed the developments of the 2007/2008 crisis and the relationships they can establish with Temer government's high school counter-reform. The methodological theoretical framework adopted for analysis is dialectical historical materialism. As a research strategy, based on an interval of the crisis between the years 2007/2008, we analyzed the World Bank documents related to the proposal of human formation of the students of the basic education of the peripheral countries and also those specially directed to Brazil. The research reveals that after the crisis of 2007/2008, the World Bank produced documents directed to the field of public education policies of peripheral countries and Brazil to organize a proposal of human formation that would meet the productivity demands of the new phase of neoliberalism. We identified how the formulations of the World Bank approached the contents of the Brazilian high school counter-reform, taking as reference the understanding of education as an element capable of increasing the country's economic development levels, through the development of competences. We conclude that the high school counter-reform responds to a hegemonic pedagogical project of globalization of capital linked to the material bases of the new accumulation regime, besides reinforcing the educational dualism, offering a precarious education for most students from popular fractions of the working class.
