Abstract

The schooling stage called Secondary Education has already undergone several reforms and there is one in progress in the current context of Brazilian education. This article aims to understand the reforms that took place in high school in Brazil and the school floor in quicksand. The methodology was of the bibliographical and documental type. The results reveal that the contradictions that occurred in the reforms of Secondary Education in Brazil are part of the regime of flexible accumulation, whose purpose is the formation of workers with flexible subjectivities and that, through a base of a general education, complemented by formative itineraries, by areas of knowledge, including technical and professional training, receive simplified training, as recommended by the National Common Curriculum Base. These reforms are carried out based on the interests of international bodies. Therefore, the reduction of investments in education and in research, causing the flexibilization and precariousness of the working class. Denying science, denying the right to education to the class, means a setback and the transformation of the school into an instrument of alienation and a place where one forms through training and not through training that values ​​critical thinking. It is necessary that the reforms that took place in secondary education be carried out from the working class.
