Abstract

The article deals the educational ‘reforms’, especially the National Common Core and New High School. The aim of this study is to understand the simultaneity of educational "reforms", in the face of the consolidation of a turbulent and truculent economic, political and social situation. In the light of the historical and dialectical materialistic method of inquiry, we analyze (I) the content of the ‘reforms’; (II) the speech spread to the public with the aim of legitimizing both; (III) the economic, political and social scenario that boosted such reforms; (IV) the recent proposals of international organizations, such as the OECD and the World Bank, to solve the crisis. It is a theoretical analysis that seeks to dialogue the law of 'reforms' and reports’ international organizations with Marx's Value-Work Theory, mediated by references that deal with the particularities of dependent capitalism, such as Florestan Fernandes. We conclude that (I) the content of the educational proposals contradicts the discourse that legitimizes them, and such proposals are in line with the directives of the international organizations; (II) these reforms meet the burning needs of the fractions of the Brazilian bourgeoisie, which has been operating reforms in the structure and superstructure of the historical bloc with a view to maintenance of its supremacy
