“Quem manda na escola pública?” Os projetos educacionais em disputa no município de Nova Iguaçu - RJ entre 1964 e 1988

Abstract

This research intends to analyze public policies in the field of Brazilian education and their impacts on the educational scenario in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, based on two milestones of the country's recent political history: the establishment of the civil-military dictatorship, with the coup from 1964, until 1988, when a new legal order -the 1988 Federal Constitution -was instituted in Brazil. In this way, using the historical-dialectical materialist perspective, we will investigate the materiality of the implemented actions, based on the educational programs, legislation and pedagogical concepts that have been established in the municipality since then. To achieve the work proposal in the first chapter, we will approach the political and educational scenario of the civil-military dictatorship and the ideology of this regime. Chapter two aims to present the impact of actions at the federal level in the field of municipal education, identifying how political movements and reconfigurations used education as a strategic space for consolidating an ideology. The third and last chapter deals with the last years of the regime and the process of political opening, signaling changes in the conjuncture with the appearance of popular movements as opposing social forces.
