Reforma do ensino médio nas escolas públicas do Amazonas com a Lei 13.415/2017: a implementação da proposta pedagógica

Abstract

Law No. 13.415/2017, by implementing the New High School (NEM) in public schools across Brazil, conceals the historical contradiction between capital and labor that has shaped the purpose and structure of this educational stage throughout the history of Brazilian education. This is a documentary research titled The Reform of High School in Public Schools of Amazonas under Law 13.415/2017: the implementation of the pedagogical proposal, with the general objective of analyzing the implementation process of the New High School Curricular Pedagogical Proposal in both regular and full-time formats in public schools under SEDUC/AM from 2016 to 2023. It is grounded in the categories of totality, mediation, and contradiction from the historical-dialectical materialist method. Its theoretical-methodological path is organized into five stages: (1) Integrative Literature Review; (2) Data collection from the MEC portal; (3) Data collection from SEDUC-AM; (4) Data analysis; (5) Discussion of results. The findings reveal the essence of the high school reform as a reproduction of labor power, obscured by the fetish of aligning this educational stage with the training demands of the 21st century. It reflects a conception of education mediated by the State, tailored to the specific context of Amazonas, and implemented through a curriculum developed with the participation of private initiatives: Instituto IUNGO, Instituto Politize!, and Fundação Telefônica Vivo. These entities interpret curricular flexibility as a guarantee of holistic development aimed at an exit profile rooted in social, civic, and professional education that responds to the socioeconomic challenges of life under neoliberal capitalism.
