Implications of concomitance in technical education financed by Pronatec in the Mato Grosso do Sul state education network (2012-2015)

Abstract

The National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment (Pronatec) is a program for financing technical education launched in 2011 under the government of Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016) enacted by Law 12.513/2011. Among its actions is the promotion of the Technical Education Networks in the states. This research study discusses the implications of concomitance in the technical education courses financed by Pronatec in the Mato Grosso do Sul State Education Network (REE / MS), in the period from 2012 to 2015. It is a documentary, bibliographical and empirical research study that uses Gramsci’s concept of “state” (1991) and Harvey’s of “flexible capital accumulation” (1992). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four managers who participated at the implementation of Pronatec in the REE/MS, during the period studied. The results indicate that in the REE/MS the Pronatec prioritized courses concomitant with or subsequent to standard higher secondary education courses and that resulted in high dropout and failure rates in the studied period.

Interculturalidad en la Educación Técnica Profesional: Tensiones y Desafíos para su Implementación

“…Bajo esa idea, la educación occidental dominante -como dispositivo que reproduce esa condición-no queda exenta, porque ha instalado una educación, una escuela y una racionalidad monocultural en el territorio (Arias-Ortega, 2016;Huaiquián y Estay, 2019;Mansilla et al, 2016;Oliveira et al, 2019;Rambla et al, 2020), permitiendo que el paradigma de la modernidad y el dominio del eurocentrismo influyan progresivamente en las políticas nacionales de las recientes repúblicas (Bauer, 2019).…”
