Base Nacional Comum Curricular e novo ensino médio

Abstract

This article presents partial results of a documentary-bibliographic research dedicated to the understanding of the details of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) and the Novo Ensino Medio (NEM) in dialogue with the historical-structuring aspects of Brazilian education. The mediation of the dependent capitalism category, here in Florestan Fernandes's terms, is of the utmost importance, especially in order to understand the unity of the present and past educational, economic, political, social and ideological aspects of Brazil's economic and social formation. With the contribution of understandings sought in the theoretical framework left by the Brazilian sociologist, such as those referring to the specificity of the bourgeois revolution in Brazil and the contradictions erected within dependent capitalism, it is argued that the BNCC and the NEM present features common to the various reforms and anti-reform measures leveraged by the Brazilian bourgeoisie throughout our history, especially in moments of crisis. It is concluded that, in spite of the obscurantist peculiarities of the current conjuncture, it reflects in all scopes the revitalization and the deepening of dependence, to which the educational sphere is no exception: in this also the measures present the exacerbated contradictory, antidemocratic and retrograde faces, characteristic of dependent capitalism.
