“Reconstruir o Mundo”

O presente artigo pretende apresentar o caminho através do qual o neoliberalismo transformou o modo como pensamos e o que fazemos como professores e aprendentes. O argumento principal desenvolvido neste artigo é o de que a mobilização das ideias neoliberais implicadas na reorganização das sociedades e dos sectores educativos é um projecto de classe norteado por três objectivos: (i) a redistribuição da riqueza pelas elites dirigentes através de novas formas de governação; ii) a transformação dos sistemas educativos de modo a que a produção de trabalhadores para a economia seja o seu mandato primeiro; iii) o colapso da educação como monopólio do sector público, permitindo a abertura do investimento estratégico às empresas lucrativas. A realização destes objectivos exige a ruptura dos interesses institucionalizados dos professores, dos sindicatos dos professores e dos sectores da sociedade civil que defendem a educação como um bem público. Contudo, este projecto apresenta-se de forma altamente desigual, em grande parte, por causa da resistência considerável dos professores e dos seus sindicatos.

Movimentações da classe docente em Portugal (finais da década de 60)

O presente trabalho insere-se no Projecto intitulado Percursos do associativismo e do sindicalismo docentes em Portugal – 1890-1990, cujo financiamento principiou em 1 de Janeiro de 2010, pela FCT e de que o signatário é investigador responsável. O seu objectivo é contribuir para o estudo do tema geral supracitado, nas suas formas históricas: a sua motivação imediata é a análise do conflito que, nos finais da década de 60, opôs os docentes do Ciclo Preparatório do Ensino Secundário às autoridades educacionais devido à despromoção profissional de que foram vítimas relativamente aos demais sectores do professorado do Ensino Secundário. Em anexo, o estudo recolhe documentação inédita e matéria jornalística até agora esquecida.
