A MILITARIZAÇÃO DA ESCOLA PÚBLICA EM GOIÁS.

Abstract

This dissertation’s research object is the militarization of the public school in Goiás. We made an investigation of the implantation of the Goiás’ Military Police schools in the public teaching system. The creation process of this kind of school is the result of the transference of the administration of basic school institutions to Goiás’ Military Police through the Public Security Department. We intended to show how such movement is modifying the transferred schools’ structure. They used to be democratic spaces open for all, but became militarized and selective structures. A historical analysis was made in order to show that the whirling rhythm of installation of the CPMGs has as background a political project promoted by the government of Goiás and that is resulting in social impact. Interest relations and conflictions are involved in such a context. The government of Goiás, which dominates the political space, imposes the military schools, and social groups that benefit from the militarization defend such a teaching mode. On the other hand, a part of the impaired civil society and community mobilizes itself and offers resistance. Besides that matter, this work reflects on subjects concealed from the discussions, such as the admission priority given to certain candidates, the choice of schools to become administrated by the police and the monthly fee. These factors select and exclude the students out of the school unities. The analysis made of the military teaching in the CPMGs allows us to approximate them to the Military School of the Brazilian Army, because they follow a common education guideline directed by the doctrine of the Military Forces, where the hierarchy and the discipline prevail, being also important the servile obedience to the military professionals. Despite that similarity, the research shows there are also differences between them. Different from the Military Schools, which prepare the young people to the military career, the CPMGs do not form students to the Military Forces, neither to the PM career, but they insert military values and practices into the civilians’ everyday life and formation. The research is widened as the historical analysis deepens and reveals the complexity of the military matter in the Brazilian society. Through the pondering about the formation of the State of Goiás, of the Military Police and of the public school, it is possible to clarify the deepening of a military idea of society which got into the institutions and into our society. Hence, in the territory of the public school of Goiás there is fertile ground for a military educational system. At the end of this study, an excursus was inserted with the aim of showing how previous researches regarding the theories of Michel Foucault were fundamental to inspire and guide this research. Such excursus works as an epistemology of the research and aims to show the ways that made it possible to build the object of study.
