A falácia da educação integral sob o domínio imperialista: um estudo do Programa Mais Educação em Rondônia

Abstract

This thesis deals with the More Education Program in Rondônia. The research was carried out using method-historical-dialectical materialism from the analytical categories totality, contradiction, ideology and praxis and from the historical categories imperialism and bureaucratic capitalism. It was tried to analyze if the More Education Program can be considered a proposal of integral education or only a point of view of a politics of extension of the scholastic day with view to attend like demands of mode of production capitalist in its imperialist phase. The conceptions and practices of integral education in Brazil have always been within the bourgeois theoretical horizon, now based on pragmatism as in the case of Anísio Teixeira and Darcy Ribeiro, sometimes in open fascism as in the case of the Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB) directed by Plínio Salgado. Since the 1970s, the World Bank, as the main agency of imperialism today, directs its priorities to basic education. Basic education is seen as an important factor of security and social control. The ideological discourse that emphasizes the need for targeted education public policies to alleviate poverty becomes the central axis through which the World Bank formulates and enforces as policies for countries dominated and subjected to imperialist control. The More Education Program is part of this context. In the official documents that support and guide the implementation of the More Education Program are reproduced the guidelines of the World Bank. Postmodern ideology, which is not an evaluation of the transmission of scientific knowledge and the role of the school in transmitting universal content, is present in its foundations in the name of the creation of "learning networks" and "educational territories" that would extend throughout the City. In practice, there is no basic infrastructure, monitors are volunteers and do not receive formation, there is no improvement in the appropriation of knowledge and students are stigmatized by their social condition. The subjects stand out as an embodiment like the More Education Program, do not consider a proposal with a practice of integral education and criticize its focal nature. They exalt, on the other hand, their protective character by keeping poor students occupied and fed for longer in the school as a way of preventing supposed dangers that the street and society in general offer. In short, in a country of bureaucratic capitalism dominated by imperialism, integral education is nothing more than a fallacy and constitutes a mere extension of the school day in order to meet the formation needs required for the imperialist phase of capitalism. Integral education, in the perspective of omnilaterality, will be a consequence of the socialist revolution and will reach its highest level of development at a time when the unilaterality of bourgeois education is finally overcome by the revolutionary suppression of all social classes.
