A tramitação da Medida Provisória 746/2016: uma análise do processo legislativo da Reforma do Ensino Médio de 2017

Abstract

This study is linked to the Postgraduate Program in Education (PPGED) of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), in the research line of State, Policies and Management of Education. In it, the High School Reform defined in Provisional Measure (MP) No. 746/2016, which resulted in Law 13,415 / 2017, was worked on as an object, with the general objective of understanding the legislative process of processing this Provisional Measure and the development trajectory of secondary education and its context in Brazil. For that, specific objectives were defined to place high school in the history of Brazilian education; understand its development in the midst of the social, political and economic processes that contextualized it in each era; and make a contextualized analysis of the processing of MP No. 746/2016 in the National Congress. For this, a careful bibliographic research was carried out that would bring elements and theoretical bases for understanding the establishment and developments of high school in Brazilian education, and then, it was resorted to documentary research to analyze the 568 Amendments sent to the Mixed Commission (ECM) of the National Congress, elaborated during the process of processing this MP. The study is organized in 6 sections, the first of which is the introduction to the theme and the following three sections constitute the theoretical basis used to understand the development of secondary education in Brazil. In section 5, Provisional Measure No. 746/16 in Michel Temer's government is contextualized and analyzes the amendments submitted. It concludes, in section 6, with the final considerations. From the realization of the study, it was possible to verify the imbricated relationship between governments, capital and educational policies in Brazil. The latter are designed to meet the demands and interests that, over the years, have become more and more external than internal. It was no different with the High School Reform of 2017, which had, with its instrumentalizing character, the objective of producing different and pre-determined types of graduates who met the external recommendations aimed at maintaining the system and the status quo.
