CASTRO, Marcela Moraes de  and  AMARAL, Daniela Patti do. Public education in a pandemic time: distance learning education as an effect of the opportunism policy in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2023, vol.39, e80838.  Epub Nov 14, 2023. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1984-0411.80838.

We evaluate the disputes over the distance learning education policy proposed by the Rio de Janeiro State Department of Education for public school students. The hypothesis believes that the pandemic context acts as a political scenario for favoring the opportunism of occasion to attend to the demands of economic groups. By the frame of post-structuralism, we argue that democratic politics constitute the tension between consensus, legal orders, and dissent as an interpretation of political texts. Its analysis considers the relationship between subjects, objects, and language practices in a specific time and context in which the policies have been formulated by the Federal government articulating with the government of Rio de Janeiro state. The spotlight on the political struggle shows the alignment with the liberal project of the Brazilian state being necessary to think about other forms of sociability that contemplate more egalitarian collective projects in the school planning to access knowledge mediated by technologies.
