Abstract

This research discusses the production of “truth” in the context of educational policies, inquiring about the location of production and the legitimacy of the educational discourse. To this end, this work draws an empirical research carried out in a set of opinion columns aired over the last years, whose thematic focus centered on educational policies. This article also discusses the review of some Foucault’s relevant concepts, as well as recent studies on academic research in the area of educational policy, pondering their emergency conditions and their applicability in the properly political stage. It is concluded that the speeches about education policy lack a situational framework that allows to locate the enunciator and his/her circumstances, especially identifying the origin and intentions of extra-academic discourses that have participated markedly in political decisions.
