Tira a mão do meu IF: movimento estudantil e o direito à permanência em tempos de ataque à educação

Abstract

This dissertation is the result of research carried out in the Graduate Program in Social policies and citizenship and has been developed within the line of research "Social Rights and new rights, construction of subjects and Citizenship". The research problem raised consisted in seeking to identify the extent to which the student movement of the IGC Baiano has acted in the guarantee of the right to student assistance and what the contribution of Social Service in this policy in times of attacks on education. To try to answer the question was raised the following hypothesis - which apparently was proven in the course of study –: it is assumed that the student movement of the IGC Baiano has been working to make a significant contribution to the strengthening of student assistance and that the Social Service has provided an active contribution to this policy. The overall goal is to recognize how the student movement of the IGC Baiano has acted in the guarantee of the right to student assistance and identify the contribution of Social Service in this respect (social movement – student assistance) in the context of the attack on education imposed by speculative financial capital. It should be noted that it comes from a research situated in the recent past (2014-2017). The methodology employed uses the case study (IE Baiano – campuses Chinu, Santa Inez and Uruçuca), semi-structured interviews and documentary research with content analysis of reports and minutes of the meetings of the Basis of the Student Movement of Unified IE Baiano. The result of empirical research and documentary is presented in the course of each chapter, with analysis of the data and its relation with the theory studied, and points out that a democratic management of Student Assistance, with the effective participation of the student movement, could contribute significantly to the strengthening of the policy of permanence. It also indicates that the Social Service has a prominent place in this relationship that is pervaded by social contradictions, mainly because it is a context in which imperialism, by means of the "trinity of capital": IMF, World Bank and WTO, have been embracing the idea of privatizing education, which is synonymous with the withdrawal of social rights. However, there is a possibility of organized social movements resist, if they act in an articulate manner, creative and optimistic. It is possible to assert that this is an innovative research, since the topic is current and relevant. In conclusion, this dissertation demonstrated that the student movement, so instructed, agitated and organized (as Gramsci calls) can be the first to point the trigger in the process of coping in favor of education and of resistance to the dictates of speculative financial capital, moved by the love to the school, to research, to the transmission and the production of knowledge (as Florestan Fernandes indicates).
