Abstract

This article discusses related neoliberal policies and their impact on Brazilian education. Liberalism is the political bias that gave rise to neoliberalism, but the latter has more intense influences regarding the stimulation of competition. Both embody a rationality focused on efficiency, competitiveness, and market logic. Concomitantly, globalization is characterized by the relationship between countries in diverse aspects that can have economic, cultural, political, and social origins. This text aims to analyze how liberalism and neoliberalism influence the Brazilian education system, highlighting the impact of these ideologies on education in a capitalist and globalized society. It concludes that education is both a product and a reflection of society and can serve the interests of shaping it, given that it is a far-reaching social environment, subject to hierarchical influence and subject to control tools, management logic, and commodified influences influenced by the interests of capital and the international relations arising from globalization.
