Description
The aim of this book was to analyze the type of youth education that is expressed in and from the High School Counter-Reform, especially with regard to the composition of the curriculum of the state education network in Rio de Janeiro. The results compiled in the book, with emphasis on the last chapter, indicate the negative implications of the “New” High School for the education of young people. The legislation already pointed to what is materialized in the curricula of the Rio de Janeiro state network: a massive reduction in the workload of basic general education; a reduction in class time for curricular components that are extremely important for the integral human formation of subjects, especially Sociology and Philosophy, but also Biology, Chemistry, History and others; a concept of education based on the logic of competencies, linked to a BNCC that does not even remotely correspond to what the progressive camp is arguing for as a concept of education; among other issues. For these and other reasons, we stress the importance of its repeal and the collective construction of a genuine reform of secondary education, which in turn values the integral human formation of this public.
