PALU, Janete  and  PETRY, Oto João. Neoliberalism, globalization and neoconservatism: scenarios and offensives against the public Brazilian Basic Education. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2020, vol.15, e2015317.  Epub Sep 02, 2020. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/praxeduc.v.15.15317.063.

This paper discusses the origins and advances of neoliberalism, globalization and neoconservatism at a global and national level and its implications for the formulation of public policies directed to the Brazilian Basic Education. To this end, the qualitative study resorted to bibliographic and documentary analysis, seeking to relate the transformations that occurred in the last decades of the 20th century and the current context, which provided theoretical and empirical elements that help in understanding this scenario and the production process consensus in the educational field. The results point to the construction of a global educational agenda, linked to neoliberal and neoconservative interests. In Brazil, offensives targeting public Basic Education have been identified. It is concluded that, as education becomes a commodity, it ceases to be a social good and the right of all and it starts to appear as an individual good, to be accessed by economic condition, merit, and personal effort.

Keywords : Education policies; Basic Education; Regression.
