Contradições entre o público e o privado: análise da atuação do Movimento Todos Pela Educação (MTPE) durante o processo de formulação do Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE 2014-2024)

Abstract

This dissertation thesis aims to analyze the project defended by All for Education during the preparation of the National Education Plan (2014-2024). Therefore, our research approaches dialectical materialism employing a bibliographical study combined with documental analysis as methodological procedures. It is well known, that the relationship between public and private institutions in the educational sector experienced a redimensioning guided by the new pattern of capitalist accumulation, within the framework of the triad of neoliberalism, globalization, and productive restructuring. In Brazil, this movement to redefine the boundaries between public and private in education took place mainly during the 1990s. The initiatives of educational entrepreneurship are identified in their new determinations in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (1996) and the National Education Plan (2001-2010). The development of methodological procedures, with the consequent construction of empirical data, allowed us to show that All for Education (TPE), in essence, does not inaugurate business action on Brazilian education and the elaboration of educational policies. Nevertheless, the TPE stands out for becoming an initiative of the common class of the productive and financial fractions of Brazilian capitalism, disputing the public fund in a broad sense and not only with the conversion of public ownership to private ownership of education. Although All for Education is a business movement, its public intervention is hidden by the denomination of the civil society movement, constituting a contradictory unit between antagonistic social interests. In particular, in the case of the National Education Plan, we noticed that the TPE project was mainly inscribed in the referrals related to the National Education System (SNE), in the expansion of the private commercial sector in education, in the financing of education and, also, in monitoring the Plan through a culture of goals.
