This article aims to list a gallery of losses for Brazilian education, after the 2016 civil-media-parliamentary-business coup, which removed the elected president Dilma Vana Rousseff. It reaffirms that the set of policies and practices listed is the result of measures taken by neoliberalism, an economic doctrine that predicts the dismantling of social rights, including education. Based on contributions from thinkers related to historical and dialectical materialism, it argues that the setback has historical marks and that it is configured not “only” as measures that prevent the access of the working class to elaborate knowledge, but beckon to the world the place that the Brazil occupies the international division of work: that of subalternity. It concludes that the attack on education is an attack on democracy and reiterates the importance of access to knowledge historically and collectively elaborated by humanity as an alternative to resist the scenario of rubbles.
Keywords: Education. Neoliberalism. Public education policies.
