SUMMARY:

This thesis under construction has chosen as its object of investigation the process of militarization in national public Basic Education policy and school management through the National Civic-Military Schools Program (PECIM), implemented by partnership between the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Ministry of Defense (MD) from 2019 to 2023. The question is: how and why did Jair Bolsonaro's federal government carry out a concomitant process of militarization in national public basic education policy and school management through PECIM? The main objective was to analyze the process of militarization in the national public basic education policy and in school management through PECIM, considering the repressive-disciplinary dimension of education and the dimension of democratic management, between 2019 and 2023. Based on this general objective, the following specific objectives were proposed: a) to understand the functions, connections and characteristics of the capitalist state in social reproduction, with a focus on the relationship between repression and Basic Education; b) to examine the socio-political context of Jair Bolsonaro's militarized government, his government project and his ministerial composition, with an emphasis on the interfaces with Basic Education; c) to understand the elements that make up the Basic Education project underlying the management of the Ministry of Education during Jair Bolsonaro's government; d) to analyze the process of building, executing and revoking PECIM in the Ministry of Education, in conjunction with the Ministry of Defense; e) to analyze the changes in school management induced by the main legislation, regulations and official documents of PECIM and its strategic planning. To this end, historical and dialectical materialism was adopted as a philosophical basis, from which theoretical premises were developed that understand the capitalist mode of production through contradictory relations of production and reproduction, in which the capitalist state has a fundamental position, either in its function of repression, through the Armed Forces, police and legal power, or in its function of consent and subjection, through the modern educational system, significantly. In order to scientifically understand the processes of militarization induced by PECIM in the historical movement, the research used theoretical and empirical categories as fundamental analytical tools and drew on the state of knowledge of national academic production on the contemporary phenomenon of the militarization of education. The historical-documentary research focused on a corpus of 36 documents in various formats and a set of questions. It is argued that, in Brazil, since the 2010s, there have been concrete expressions of the repressive-disciplinary dimension of education and educational proposals from neoconservative political alliances that influenced militarization in educational policy and school management during the MEC administration between 2019 and 2022. This process of militarization was articulated and implemented by the political and institutional network of PECIM and disrupted public schools through militarized management. PECIM was part of a Basic Education project, underlying the actions and discourses of Jair Bolsonaro's federal government, which was reproductive in nature and linked to an authoritarian and repressive political perspective. A democratic discipline is advocated, related to a counter-hegemonic political-pedagogical project of the working classes, as a constitutive element of the struggle for the demilitarization of public Basic Education in the country.
