OLIVEIRA, Arão Davi and SOUZA E SILVA, Celeida Maria Costa de. The purpose of reforms in brazilian professional education in the 1990s: consensus and hegemony. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.67, pp.169-191. Epub May 15, 2019. ISSN 2238-2097. https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v28i67.7477.
The objective is to present and discuss the proposals and interests of Brazilian businessmen and international organizations in the reform of Brazilian professional education in the 1990s. This is a qualitative research of documentary and bibliographic approach. The documents emanated by these institutions in the 1990s were analyzed in light of Gramsci’s (1991) concepts of state; Harvey’s, flexible capital accumulation (1992); and Marx’s, work (1971). The documents analyzed promoted a consensus in the national educational context and served as a reference for the proposal of reforms in the Brazilian educational system that started to prioritize a general, flexible, polyvalent formation.
Keywords : History of professional education; Public Educational Policies; Flexible Accumulation of Capital.
