Sommario/riassunto

Las propuestas gubernamentales de cambio educativo en el siglo XXI son fundamentalmente reformas laborales que forman parte de nuevos paquetes de ajuste estructural que se adelantan en correspondencia a la nueva generación de políticas neoliberales en curso. Algunas de sus expresiones más evidentes son la despedagogización del hecho educativo, el ataque a la profesión docente, la destrucción de la educación pública y las limitaciones para el desarrollo de formas organizativas autónomas de los y las trabajadoras de la educación.
