This text brings an analysis about the influence of private apparatuses of hegemony on the elaboration, dissemination and implementation of the Common Core National Curriculum (BNCC) and public policies related to it. Starting from the analysis referenced in historical and dialectical materialism, we review studies produced by different research groups, among other collectives, systematizing the accumulated knowledge, seeking to develop explanatory syntheses that help us to understand and face the project of society of the agents of the capital that understand education as a commodity. In the market perspective, success would not be based on emancipatory historical knowledge, but “good” performance in standardized tests. This reduction in the role of the school is, in a way, tranquilizer for the bourgeois class, which finds less and less conflicts to install its ideas and to continue occupying the place of privilege that was historically assured to them. This conception of society and education, defended by financial agencies and multilateral organizations, is disseminated by sectors of the ruling class through foundations and institutes, waging a dispute in society to establish a consensus around this ideological perspective in the economic field and in public policies. Provisionally, the studies presented here indicate that the BNCC is the basis of the curriculum and of other educational policies, placing the National Education Plan as a mere supporting element.

Keywords : education; private apparatuses of hegemony; common core national curriculum; neoliberal reforms.
