Work and education from the perspective of multilateral organizations

Abstract

It highlights the interests of multilateral organizations in the interface work and education behind the rhetoric of combat and eliminating poverty. The methodology used was a documentary survey of the productions and reports of multilateral bodies comprised understood as an unfolding of the World Conference on Education for All (1990), as well as the bibliographic review of authors who discuss the thematic. It is verified in the documents the analysis of the relationship between work and education under the aegis of combat and elimination of poverty and, education assumes, thus, a salvationist character. The orientation of educational reforms occurs in the face of the dynamics of capital to provide basic learning, needs skills and competences and necessary qualifications for economic and social development in the pursuit of a supposed social equity. Anchored in the binomial of poverty-security, the vehemence of the political-ideological and its direction of structural reforms in the educational policies is in the pretense of combating poverty by providing unfavorable business climate. In this perspective, education collaborates in sustaining the political control of the world bourgeoisie about the educational processes directed towards productive restructuring in the international division of labor. The work allows to conclude that the interface "education and work" in this perspective, assumes a pragmatic character and human resources formation – the so-called human Capital.
