PUBLIC POLICIES, CURRICULUM: High School in perspective

Abstract

The High School is a constant target of disputes for being a space of formation of young people and for being also a great bottleneck of the basic education that translates in social indicators of denial of rights. The objective of the present article is to demonstrate the impacts and consequences of public policies in the formation of young people, especially in secondary education according to the capital. The public policies implemented have intensified the exploration and the precariousness in the formation of young people, creating a duality between public education and private network, increasing social inequality, generating hopelessness for the popular classes. Using a bibliographical research and in the selection of sources we identified the historical series book of the education of Minas Gerais and newspaper circulation report. As a main result, it was verified that there is a deliberate policy to annihilate the public sector, reiterating selective and excluding authoritarian practices that disqualify the public school as inefficient and the private network as efficient. And this policy is systematically reiterated by external curriculum and assessments, such as ENEM, creating a ranking among schools, based on a formation marked by the precariousness of capital, reducing the possibilities of a transformative education.
