This dissertation defended in the Master in Social Work at PUC Goiás, is linked to the line of research Social Theory and Social Work. The investigation had as methodology the qualitative approach, with the theoretical current of dialectical materialism, marked by a determined social, cultural, political and economic context that is veiled from subjectivities to be analyzed beyond the immediate concrete. It was configured in documentary, descriptive research. In the research, the consolidation of the counterreform offensive of higher education is achieved, with hard marketing attacks, but not without confrontation and resistance from professional groups and representatives inside and outside the category of social workers. The confrontation of the category of social workers to the counter-reform that plagues education, goes through a collective struggle as a working class and enters the heart of the profession, when resizing struggle strategies. Thus, it is urgent to reaffirm that the current configuration of education in Brazil has its assumptions underlying the order of capital, related to the process of social production and reproduction, with direct connections to the world of work and its metamorphoses
