Educação: o Brasil e o Estado do Paraná entre os anos de 1960 e 2010

Abstract

This dissertation is the result of a documentary and bibliographic research that aims to analyze the History of Education in Brazil and in the state of Paraná, between the decades 1960s and 2010. The research deals with the historical context and education from the decade of 1960 to understand the meaning of the authoritarian state and its undemocratic remains for education. It is also under investigation the 1980s, which marked the emergence of criticism of military governments, expressed the democratic ideals of society, through social movements and popular struggles of the multiparty system - fertile decade for educational production in which the Historical-Critical pedagogy emerges as a proposal collectively designed by Brazilian intellectuals, referenced in Marxist assumptions. Following, we analyze the changes occurring in the 1990s, implemented under the influence of neoliberal ideology that prevailed in economic deregulation and reform of the State, resulting in a redefined educational system and guided by International Organizations to meet the market demands and form the new worker. In this scenario, in 2002, it was elected the first President of the Workers Party and, in the same year, in Paraná, Roberto Requião de Mello e Silva was re-elected to the state government for the PMDB, both with rhetoric aimed at the popular classes. However, when analyzing Education articulated to the historical totality of that period, it was found that it, rather than transform social reality, eventually contributed to the reproduction of social inequality and the exploitation of labor, basis of hegemonic project in the capital
