This study analyzes the process of expansion of private organizations in the educational field, in the period from 2013 to 2021, through the materiality of the external loan signed between the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Manaus Municipal Government. The theoretical and methodological contributions of the historical and dialectical materialism guided the path of the documentary and bibliographic analysis, whose main sources are the documents from the external loan agreement between the IDB and the Municipality of Manaus, contracts made by the Municipal Department of Education with hegemonic private organizations, such as the Itaú Social Foundation, Telefônica Vivo Foundation, and La Caixa Banking Foundation that were inserted in the continuing education of teachers. It was observed a hegemonic movement in the educational field in which the social relations built by the capital are established, maintained, and reinforced by multiple domination mechanisms, managed by hegemonic private organizations in Gramscian sense, which were inserted in the continuing education of teachers. Therefore, it is stated that the implications of the public-private partnership system directly influence the educational policy for public education in Manaus, specifically continuing education, which brings in the core, mercantilist strategies shaped by subservience to financial capital, establishing its profitable ground in the educational field and integrating the process of commodification of continuing teacher training, which strongly threatens the process of democratization of public education.

Keywords : Teacher training; Public-private partnership system in education; Hegemonic Private Organizations; Public Education.
