Um salto para o passado

breves observações a respeito do discurso ideológico no Relatório Delors e das políticas públicas para a educação nos anos 1990

Abstract

This article is part of the research actions held in the Professional Masters Program in Sciences and Mathematics Teaching of the IFSP, and aims to understand in which contexts the reforming policies are inserted in order to unravel possible purposes that these reforming policies aim to satisfy, beyond what they effectively announce. The reflections expressed in this article aim to shed light on how the ideological neoliberal discourse is presented in the Report for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) with the title “Education, a treasure to discover, better known as “Delors Report”. The text published in 1996 becomes emblematic because it cites the Four Pillars of Education and pave the way for a comprehension of men, democracy and citizenship coherent with the hegemonic discourse of capital’s forces, and provides theoretical and ideological support for Brazilian public policies during the years 1990 and, more recently, for the reforming policies of the after 2016-coup years. Among the discussions we present: (i) the historicity of the document,  understood as one of the ideals for the Common Curricular National Basis, (ii) the movement of resemanticization of concepts and (iii) the construction of a consensus of educational intentions aligned with neoliberal ideas.
