O GRUPO LEMANN E O NOVO PAPEL DOS APARELHOS PRIVADOS DE HEGEMONIA NO CAMPO DA EDUCAÇÃO NO BRASIL

Abstract

The article analyzes the performance of the Lemann Group which, through the Lemann Foundation, has been acting on several fronts of the public education policy in Brazil. The objective of the analysis is to explain the guiding principles, objectives and strategies that guide their interventions in the educational work of schools in countless public-school network. The analysis results in indications of a new role assumed by the Brazilian business, from the 2000s, in the dispute of hegemony in the educational field. These indications start from the presupposition of the existence of an accelerated process of neoliberalization, which triggered new mechanisms of bourgeois domination focused on the field of education and that directly impact the State's role in the development of public policies for education, with a view to a new sociability pattern. In this context, the neoliberal project of education is instituted as a fundamental instrument in the construction of consensus around the new strategies of bourgeois domination. Based on these analyzes, the text points out that recent changes in public policies for education in dependent countries such as Brazil are far from being explained as a consequence of the imposition of international bodies to which local rulers would be victims. It is, in fact, a project of reordering bourgeois domination in a context of the organic crisis of capital.
