Abstract

The “NGOization” of public education is part of one of the tentacles of a “new capitalism” (Souza, 2012; Dardot and Laval, 2016). The capitalist system is privatizing public education by substitution (Catini, 2021), which means scrapping the public education system in exchange for private education projects, especially with NGOs. These, out of devotion or necessity, whether they know it or not, contribute to increasing social inequalities, despite having a benevolent, engaging discourse about transforming education for the poorest. Through theoretical study in a research group based at a public university and led by public school teachers, and through the professional experience in NGOs of one of the authors of this article, we problematized the pedagogical processes of two NGOs in different contexts, namely: 1) the NGO Colheita working in the Jardim Gramacho/Duque de Caxias garbage dump (context “outside the school”) and 2) the NGO Plantando o novo working in a municipal school in Leblon/RJ (context “inside the school”).
