Educación en la lógica del Banco Mundial: formación para la Sociabilidad Capitalista

Abstract

This article discusses the human training project present in World Bank publications for Education, in general, and for Brazil, with a temporal cut between 2000 and 2014. These publications aim to produce consensus about their political-educational proposals and build a fallacious understanding of objective reality through the widespread disqualification of the teacher and the public school. The disqualification narrative precedes recommendations for education projects that align the formation of the working class to the flexible molds of capitalist sociability. In the World Banck’s logic, Education is responsible for alleviating poverty and economic development, and should be guided by the notion of competencies and the revised Human Capital Theory. In this way, it should promote a "world-class" education for the demands (of capital) of the XXI century. In addition, they elide the real economic movement in the 21st century, understood in the concept of capital-imperialism, in which the internal domination of capital needs and is complemented by its external expansion, directly affecting capital and labor relations. With the intention of legitimizing the barbarism of the educational project of capital, a great ideological offensive was put in place to sustain the social, political and economic mode of organization and its necessary sociability.
