RIBEIRO, Rejane Arruda and PULINO, Lúcia Helena Cavasin Zabotto. October 2016, Brazil - the occupations of Brazilian public schools by high school students: contextualization and characterization. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.45, pp.286-300. ISSN 2175-1390.
This article aims to contextualize and characterize the occupations of public high school students started in October 2016 in Brazil. The main claims were: a) Against the Provisional Measure on the Reform of Secondary Education, MP 746/2016, which would modify the curricular and working rules of High School; b) Against PEC 241/55, which was intended to change the constitution to limit the growth of Brazilian government expenditures, directly affecting Health and Education, various public services and social security, and c) Against the Senate Bill, PLS 193/2016, which would include, among the Guidelines and Bases of Education, the School without Party Program. Secondary school students staged the protests of the educational area during this period, inspired by the occupations of public high schools in São Paulo, at the end of 2015. We hope that this work will help in the production of knowledge about the movement of these students, as well as in studies and dialogue political relationship with regard to secondary education, especially public education, in Brazil.
