Novo Ensino Médio: desafios e expectativas

Abstract

The New High School proposal seeks a more technical and less propaedeutic training, thus serving the policy of interests that governs the capitalist society, as it contributes to the formation of the productive man, of the mass man, distancing himself from the concept of omnilaterality that presupposes an effectively integral formation. Thus, the present work aims to evaluate the challenges and perspectives that this new teaching model will provide for society. Among the changes, we can highlight the increase in the workload and the insertion of new disciplines, but we emphasize the concern with the school space as a physical structure and with the beneficiaries of education, that is, students and teachers. During the production of this work, it became clear that the implementation of the New Secondary School is happening gradually, and the conclusion will occur in 2024, however some difficulties are already arising, due to the lack of qualification of the professionals of the school boards and impossibilities of execution training itineraries focused on technical and technological areas. Some details are still not clear, such as the mechanisms that universities will adopt to comply with § 16 of Art. 26, which suggests that the contents studied during secondary education can be validated for use in higher education credits. Thus, many challenges will come to managers, teachers and students, requiring more study in this area of research.
