DURAN, Maximiliano. Simón rodríguez: popular education and the invention of the popular school. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2015, vol.24, n.43, pp.25-36. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/jan.jun.v24n43.003.

This paper aims to introduce the concept of popular education created by Simón Rodríguez and to analyze to what extent it is possible to consider a new school model based on this notion. A description of the concept of scholé, as proposed by Rancière, serves as a point of departure, to performing a critical analysis of this school model, which attempts to show that the school, as it is defined, is a Latin American as opposed to a Greek invention. More specifically, this text seeks to reveal how the concept of popular education proposed by Rodríguez offers the conditions for the possibility of a new form of schooling.

Keywords : Scholé; Popular Education; Isócrates; Simón Rodríguez.
