Education’s Kiddnaped: a reflection for teachers’ formation

Abstract

It is difficult to talk about education separately from the State. This is because it was organized modernity, through enlightenment, science and the rational planning of human beings, that schooled education with the aim of making people a functional member of society. That is, the encyclopedist vision took precedence over other knowledge, establishing a single and universal knowledge provided by the State.

As previously stated, making education mandatory was not a wish of good intentions, but rather, it was the way in which the State legitimized and consolidated itself as such. In this case, schools had to be comparable to factories and had to produce a final product (student) through an assembly system (courses, subjects, discipline, etc.)

Therefore, the school would be the seal of quality that would allow man - woman - to be civilized and, in this way, cohabitate public space and participate in public opinion. That said, any education that travels outside the State will tend to be censored or prohibited by it.
