TEIXEIRA JUNIOR, Waine  y  RODRIGUES, Sílvia de Fátima Pilegi. Education, work and flexibilization: perspectives on the public policy agenda in the information society. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.2, pp.397-411. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v39i2.20896.

This article sets out to identify the developments involved in the intensive use of new technologies of communication and information as tools for productivity enhancement in the neoliberal model from the perspective of changes in the field of labor and, consequently, in the profile of workers and paths for their formation. The drawing up of policies in these three segments is seen under the form of aspects of flexibility, with far-reaching consequences for society. The role of the World Bank is highly relevant in this context, as its documents present various recommendations for strategic structural fields, especially within that of education in developing countries. In this context, a strong presence of socioeconomic guidelines can be seen, with a focus on efficiency and effectiveness as the management goals of production processes. Distance education, whether in public or private institutions, could be hiding aspects which generate differences and inequalities.
