| description | The objective of this essay is to analyze educational reform in Mexico through the shared interests of the economic elites and the political class. Authoritarian neoliberalism is examined using a qualitative methodology of exploratory and descriptive nature. The concept of authoritarian neoliberalism posits that we are living a stage of capitalism in which states have augmented their authoritarian features in decision making, without the consensus of the population, to reinforce processes of capital accumulation. This has allowed them to generate legal scaffolding and reinforce the repressive apparatus to immunize themselves against social protest, renouncing negotiation and co-optation. All this has been done in alliance with the economic and financial elites. The results show that the educational reform was imposed by the economic elites in an agreement with the political power, without any negotiation with the teachers. With the help of the mass media, teachers were blamed for the failures of the educational system, creating a climate of lynching, especially against those who went out to demonstrate in public. We conclude that the educational reform and its imposition – far from aiming at educational quality – sought to control the teaching profession and consolidate the precarious labor conditions that are characteristic of the neoliberal model. |

El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la reforma educativa en México focalizando la sinergia de intereses entre las élites económicas y la clase política. Sobre la base de una metodología cualitativa, de índole exploratoria y descriptiva, se examina el neoliberalismo autoritario; este concepto establece que atravesamos una etapa del capitalismo, en la cual los Estados han aumentado sus rasgos autoritarios en la toma de decisiones sin tener en cuenta el consenso de la población, con el fin de apuntalar los procesos de acumulación de capital. Lo anterior les ha permitido generar andamiajes jurídicos y reforzar los aparatos represivos con el fin de crear inmunidad ante la protesta social, renunciando a la negociación y a la cooptación; todo ello en alianza con las élites económicas y financieras. Los resultados demuestran que la reforma educativa fue impuesta por las élites económicas en acuerdo con el poder político, sin mediar una postura de negociación con el profesorado. Apoyados por los medios de comunicación masivos, se culpó al personal docente del fracaso del sistema educativo, creando un clima de linchamiento, sobre todo contra quienes salieron a manifestarse en el espacio público. Se concluye que la reforma educativa y su imposición, lejos de pretender una mejora en la calidad, buscaba controlar al magisterio y consolidar la precarización laboral, una medida distintiva del modelo neoliberal. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a reforma educacional no México com foco na sinergia de interesses entre as elites econômicas e a classe política. Com base em uma metodologia qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva, examina-se o neoliberalismo autoritário. Este conceito estabelece que atravessamos uma fase do capitalismo, em que os Estados aumentaram os seus traços autoritários na tomada de decisões sem levar em conta o consenso da população, para sustentar os processos de acumulação de capital. Esse precedente permitiu-lhes gerar construções legais e reforçar o aparelho repressivo, a fim de criar imunidade ao protesto social, renunciando à negociação e à cooptação, em aliança com as elites económicas e financeiras. Os resultados mostram que a reforma educacional foi imposta pelas elites econômicas em acordo com o poder político, sem posição negocial com os professores. Apoiados pelos meios de comunicação social, os docentes foram responsabilizados pelo fracasso do sistema educativo, criando um clima de linchamento, especialmente contra aqueles que saíam para se manifestar em espaços públicos. Conclui-se que a reforma educacional e sua imposição, longe de buscar a melhoria da qualidade, buscaram controlar a profissão docente e consolidar a precarização do trabalho, medida distintiva do modelo neoliberal.
