Pourquoi l’urgence de la réforme de l’école secondaire ? La mesure provisoire n. 746/2016 (Loi n. 13.415/ 2017)

Abstract

The article analyzes the urgency of the high school reform proposed by the Provisional Measure n. 746/2016, transformed in the Law n. 13.415/2017, in view of the “subjects of this reform” and the context of regression of theoretical and political regression. It is a documentary research that adopts the analytical key of critical social theory, especially of Gramsci and Fernandes, inserted in the debates about work-education. We indicate elements to verify that this “reform” expresses the ethical-political contradiction of capitalist thinking and moral of the dependent type. Then we seek to show the close relationship between Constitucional Amendment n. 55, Bill n. 867/2015 and Provisional Measure n. 746/2016 (Law n. 13.415/2017) as a triple regression in basic education. We note that the so-called “urgency” has as its background the management of the “social question”, denying the foundations of the sciences that allow young people to understand and master the work of the world of things and human society.
