Marx and his critique of capitalist education
to conclude that we should also have a vision about which Marx said of education and how he considered his thinking.
polemics and fighting around education are at the first-order concerns and desires of all fighters social ideologies and class interests are in educational programs and proposals. Recently returned to the track today from two events that occurred from the government and parliament: the federal education law and the new university law. Both contain clear definitions of ideological, which inculcate social values \u200b\u200band political ruling class. These are disseminated systematically to the "learning community", so that it renew its commitment and deepen its transmission to learners.
Defending the teaching of Marxism
However, in spite of the clear ideological content of education that relate to the social, Marxists argue that the acquisition of knowledge are also key development achievements of human thought.
The importance of this acquisition of knowledge is even more evident when taking the second aspect of the scientific and technical education, applied science related to production, health, research on natural or exact sciences, etc. Overall, this aspect can be included under the category of "man's relationship with nature." Is determined by the need to train skilled manpower for all levels, both for those who are subject capitalist exploitation and for future paintings.
The state school system and
In petty bourgeois liberal ideology, common in the media students and teachers "progressives", including CTERA-and on the left, is given as a matter of course to claim the role of the capitalist state as an educator of the population. In thinking "Marxist" thesis comes from the socialists of the Second International, and quenched in the ideology of the liberal bourgeoisie "breakthrough." But is opposed by the vertex to the strategy of revolutionary socialism. Indeed theorists of the Third International (in time when the IC was led by Lenin) felt as blatant opportunism manifestation of social democratic parties in education the cult of the paper "democratization" and "progressive" state as an educator group. But today, and this is part of debasement to which led to Marxism-look "from another planet" who challenged the statist idolatry leftist educators.
The only school is a utopia under capitalism, because class society "demands" and objective causes have a school for workers and the impoverished, and another school for the children of the bourgeoisie and the wealthy middle class .
demand to prevent the influence of state and government on school slogan is not a strictly "socialist", but consistent democratic, that can not be met unless workers' revolution to change the class character of the state. In that case, the school would come under the influence of the councils of workers and the oppressed and exploited layers of the population, who democratically decide on the organization of teaching. Nevertheless, the demand for "outside the state of education" with the ever-present demand for free education for the working population, plays an important role in the criticism within the capitalist school and gives an edge to the struggle for democratic freedoms. This slogan unmasks the hypocrisy of those who speak of "democracy" that exists in teaching
