Abstract

This research presents, as a central objective, an analysis of Brazil’s National Educational System (SNE). It aims to comprehend the disputes and means of intervention of “Todos Pela Educação Social Movement” (known in Brazil by the acronym TPE) on the consent for the settlement of a SNE. In its specifics objectives, pretends to analyze: the role of private agents and the clashes for the settings and definitions of SNE; the private interventions on proposals for the regulation of SNE in Brazil and TPE’s incidence at legislative and executive powers; and the conceptions lined with the orientations of multilateral organisms regarding the efficiency of educational systems. It starts from the hypothesis that political reforms and the process for SNE’s settlement goes through the construction of a consent, intensified by different privatization processes. These aspects strengthen the thesis that there is a tendency of a common agreement about the model for the SNE, articulated by a common agenda that shows up to be trending in Latin America. This model defines itself by the intense activity of corporate groups, with a large protagonism of TPE in Brazil, as well as support and guidance from multilateral organisms. The research uses Weber’s comprehensive theory (2002) as theoretical and methodological basis, paired with Gramsci’s theoretical contributions. The analysis time window goes from 2009 to 2019 and made use of the documental analysis as a research instrument. Our considerations pointed out to this study relevance and the need to a deepening on the thematic, starting from the redefinitions between private and public and the institutional political design of Brazilian Federalism. That movement elaborated a systematic alignment to the State reform, with broad private protagonism, incorporating a managerialist logic to educational policies. TPE’s performance at debates and formulations to the settling of SNE at legislative and executive powers are highlighted. The actions of TPE establishes an organic movement with high capillarity, national and international, articulation with the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank and its position at the dispute for a national education project
