Programa Solução Educacional: a training for resilience in age of severe contradictions

Abstract

This article analyses the Solução Educacional para o Ensino Médio (SEEM) program, a partnership between Ayrton Senna Institute (IAS) and State Department of Education of Rio de Janeiro (SEEDUC/RJ). The aim of the article is to understand the core of the educational proposal, beyond what is promptly manifested, which emphasizes the introduction of socio-emotional competences in the curriculum and presents itself as a social technology of technical character and without ideological mediations. As to reach such aim, the work methodology consists of the case study on the SEEM, based on the information gathered from the project partners official websites that developed and performed the program: Ayrton Senna Institute and State Department of Education of Rio de Janeiro, alongside a bibliographical review on modern state theory and educational theories. We conclude that the SEEM constitutes a class-based school training project in the neoliberal context, but that it does not materialize automatically, as it is crossed by contradictions and unstable infrastructure conditions of SEEDUC/RJ schools.
