School Physical Education after the pandemic and Bolsonaro government: challenges and perspectives

Abstract

We are at a crucial moment in our country’s history, when the urgent task is to react to the attacks suffered over the last few years. In the field of Education, we need to reverse measures that culminated in the enactment of the National Common Curriculum Base and the Reform of the New Secondary School. In the context of Physical Education, it is urgent to stop actions that weaken its permanence in the school curriculum. This article seeks to point out challenges for Physical Education in Brazilian public schools, based on the analysis of the events experienced since the 2016 Coup until the present moment, in dialogue with the theoretical framework of the critical field of national physical education.
