AVANÇOS NEOLIBERAIS NO CONSELHO NACIONAL DE EDUCAÇÃO: ANÁLISE DO PARECER Nº 05/2020 / NEOLIBERAL ADVANCES IN THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF EDUCATION: ANALYSIS OF OPINION Nº 05/2020

This article seeks to understand how the neoliberal influence in the National Council of Education (CNE) has been taking place after the 2016 coup. In particular, how this interference in the CNE's performance during the COVID-19 Pandemic is taking place. To this end, we begin with brief considerations about the deepening of the neoliberal agenda for education in the political and social context after the 2016 coup, and then expose the anti-democratic changes that occurred in the composition of the CNE when Acting President Michel Temer took office. The neoliberal influence of the CNE's Opinion No. 5/2020, published during the Coronavirus Pandemic, is analyzed. This study is based on the works of SANTOS (2020), ADRIÃO (2018), LOMBARDI (2018), NEVES (2005) among others. This research is of qualitative nature, founded on the analysis of content aided by bibliographical research techniques.
