VEIGA-NETO, Alfredo. A Further Lesson: the Covid syndemic and education. Educ. Real. [online]. 2020, vol.45, n.4, e109337.  Epub 04-Jan-2021. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236109337.

This article articulates the developments of the crises generated by the COVID-19 pandemic with the deficiencies of school education in Brazil. It argues that a school marked by inequalities, exclusions, elitism, facilitation and superficiality has generated large contingents of fools and people refractory to scientific guidance for prevention and control of the pandemic. This situation is made worse by the political governing classes, whose leaders are followers of negationism, political and religious fundamentalism, anti-scientificism and conspiracy theories. A few guiding principles are proposed for scientific education emphasizing the gnoseological and formative dimensions. The nomenclature used in studies on pandemics is reviewed.

Palavras-chave : Pandemic; Covid Syndemic; Curriculum and Scientific Education; Governmentality; Stupidity.
