Education and democracy: from the risk of disarticulation to a critical recomposition

Authors

Keywords:

Education, Democracy, Schools

Abstract

Returning to a theme that is a classic in the theory of education, this article seeks grounded answers to a current problem: the erosion of the relationship between education and democracy and the risk of witnessing, if nothing is done, a disarticulation of both in the contexts where neoliberalization has taken economization of spheres and activities further, including those not directly economic. Focused on school institutions, and based on a careful analysis of this phenomenon, the article points to a critical recomposition of the alignment between education and democracy, specifying what this implies in the educational path of the youngest in the really existing schools.
