SANTOS, Ana Paula de Souza; NAGASE, Raquel  and  COSTA, Maria Luisa Furlan. The relation between neoliberalism and the education quality paradigm. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2022, vol.45, n.1, e-39548.  Epub July 17, 2023. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2022.1.39548.

The quality standards have permeated most of the discussions in education a few decades. This paper analyzes the constitution of the quality concept, relating it to the genesis and development of neoliberalism. Through bibliographic search, we approached the concept of neoliberalism and its unfolding in Latin America and in the educational field. We find that market practices linked to competitiveness and quality, neoliberal, permeate discussions and educational practices, taking the form of a paradigm. We highlight the neoliberal capacity to impose a lexicon that guides educational practices and policies.

Keywords : neoliberalism; Latin America; quality; education.
