PRINCÍPIOS CONSTITUCIONAIS, ORGANIZAÇÕES INTERNACIONAIS E AS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS PARA A EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA NO BRASIL (1988 A 2011).

Abstract

This research aims to study the influences of the constitutional text and the following international organizations: World Bank (WB), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) e Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLA), in the development of basic education in Brazil in the period of 1988 through 2011. It handles the study of the results obtained in the basic education sector after the enactment of the 1988 Constitution and the reflections coming from the influences received from supranational bodies. The study is made in a historical context that involves the resumption of democratic freedoms wrapped in influences of neoliberalism in the world. Education as a social right, toward the formation of the subject and education designed to capacitate for the job market are conflicting points when studying the reflections of the projections that international organizations make for Brazil. Basic education, a constitutionally recognized social right, has not reached the expected level of democratization of educational quality, walks, often under the guidance of supranational organizations. There is an urgent need to build a true system of education in Brazil, the difficulty is the lack of theoretical knowledge of Brazilian educators. There have been significant advances in the indicators used to assess the progress made in the educational sector, however, the results have not achieved the excellence that is desired. The coexistence of public and private school raises criticism about the public policies adopted by Brazil in the educational sector. Education has substantial importance for the maintenance of the supremacy of the State, therefore, can’t be conducted according to the projects that look after the interests of supranational organizations. It is essential the care of the actual interests of the Brazilian nation. The almost universalization of elementary education did not represent an improvement in quality, although the projected goals have made progress, there was no significant progress. The results achieved in basic education in Brazil, counted with the participation of the public sector, with funding and collaboration of the international organizations under study and the society, yielding results that indicate, though in timid manner, progress in the educational sector.
