GOMES, Marco Antônio de Oliveira  e  COLARES, Maria Lília Imbiriba Sousa. A educação em tempos de neoliberalismo: dilemas e possibilidades. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.02, pp.281-290. ISSN 2178-5201.

This paper discusses the effects of the crisis of capitalism and the productive restructuring process in a historical period marked by the hegemony of neoliberal policies in the context of school education. In this scenario, the offensive of capital presents palliative alternatives to social exclusion with the spread of the ideology of volunteering and the Third Sector, and proposals related to postmodernism, which in practice, at the same time deplete the social function of education and reinforce the commodification of the schooling process. In Brazil, this project confirms a characteristic of our political culture: the modern is constituted through the ‘archaic’, recreating our historical heritage while updating persistent features and, at the same time, transforming them in the context of globalization. Finally, we point to the urgent need to propose new struggle strategies, aiming at the creation of an emancipated society, where it will be possible to have a comprehensive education, according to the Marxian conception.

Palavras-chave : Capital's Structural Crisis; Neoliberal Policies; Productive Restructuring Process.
