Como institui o financiada e/ou regulada pelo Estado, a educa o institucionalizada tem atendido a propostas e finalidades espec¨ªficas de grupos restritos, de car¨¢ter mercadol¨®gico, direcionadas no campo estrutural, definido principalmente pelas escolas. Nestes espa os, a educa o exercida pelos agentes da educa o (formuladores de pol¨ªticas p¨²blicas, professores, estudantes, comunidades em geral), promove um ensino que estimula a reprodu o das tradicionais regras sociais, mas tamb¨¦m atua como v¨¢lvula para pensar e questionar as desigualdades impostas por tais regras.This article discusses education in its relation to the neoliberal state in Brazil. As an institution funded and/or regulated by the state, institutionalized education has responded to specific merchandising targeted proposals and purposes by limited groups, oriented in the structural field defined primarily by schools. In these spaces, education pursued by agents of education (policy makers, teachers, students, communities in general), promotes an education that encourages the reproduction of traditional social rules, but also acts as a valve to think and question the inequalities imposed by such rules. %K Estado Neoliberal %K Educa o %K Mercadoria %K Neoliberal State %K Education %K Commodity %U http://www.reveduc.ufscar.br/index.php/reveduc/article/viewFile/203/209
