The neoliberal hegemony has found its last expression in a technoeducational agenda that, organized in policy networks with concrete ramifications in each country (technological corporations, philanthropic foundations, lobbies and think tanks), governs the subjects as in no other historical epoch. Among its most significant trends is the expansion of markets towards even more spheres of education through digital platforms, teacher’s and student’s data valorization processes, as well as dynamics of privatization or deregulation that had not been present during the last more than a decade of austerity. Therefore, the objective of the article is to analyze the displacement of public power towards the private sector and the blocking of alternative pedagogical solutions different to the market as a result of the introduction of digital technologies in Spanish educational policy. In addition to a detailed analysis of public tenders (web scraping), the methodology is based on the analytical approaches of “Network Ethnography” and “Critical Discourse Analysis”. The results verify that the European mechanisms to eradicate inequalities or digital gaps in education, or NextGenerationEU, materialize in important programmatic agendas to digitize education that end up reinforcing Spanish national capitalists.
La privatización de la educación ha dejado de ser únicamente analógica. Las expresiones analógicas de exoprivatización y las expresiones analógicas de endoprivatización ahora vienen acompañadas de nuevas expresiones digitales de privatización. Este artículo realiza aportes conceptuales y analíticos para investigar cuatro nuevas dinámicas de privatización educativa del capitalismo en su era digital. La primera son las “redes políticas de gobernanza digital en educación”: ensamblajes de actores políticos humanos y actores políticos no humanos que se unifican y operan conjuntamente para pensar, decidir, configurar y poner en marcha las políticas educativas que están transformando los sistemas educativos. La segunda son los “mercados tecnoeducativos” o esas nuevas formas de mercantilización de las tecnologías digitales para expandir las lógicas del capitalismo en educación. La tercera son los “imaginarios sociotécnicos en educación”, como una hibridación de las imágenes del futuro de la sociedad y de la tecnología que crean significados sobre el sistema educativo a la vez que proyectan los cambios económicos y políticos necesarios para la supervivencia y adaptación de los avances del capital. La última es la endoprivatización educativa digital o esos procesos de emulación de las prácticas privadas de la economía digital dentro de las escuelas que intensifican las relaciones de mercado, la gobernanza escolar basada en datos, el gerencialismo y crean subjetividades neoliberales digitales que desprofesionalización la docencia.
