The public policy of the New Secondary Education and school Physical Education in the context of Rio de Janeiro
BNCC, Physical Education, High School.
The National Curricular Common Base (BNCC) and the New High School (NEM) are public policies that propose curricular and structural changes in schools at the final stage of basic education in the whole Brazilian territory. This study aims to analyze the consequences of these educational policies and their impact on School Physical Education in Rio de Janeiro. To that end, two chapters were produced using different methodologies: first, adopts bibliographic research, and the second, documentary research. The first chapter was constructed through dissertations, theses, and articles that were published in databases available for download. And to the second chapter were analyzed federal documents (the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law of 1996; Law Number 13.415/ 2017) and state documents (SEEDUC Resolutions Numbers 6.018/2021, 6.035/2022 and 6.219/2023; State Board of Education 394/2021 and Electives Catalog). As results, we observed in the first chapter the business interest in public education policies and a BNCC impregnated by a liberal bias, being able to reverberate such as in high school Physical Education or in the integral human formation which aims to be promoted at the final stage of basic education. Chapter two presents results comparing the High School Curriculum in Rio de Janeiro and their consequences, such as the teacher ́s reduction in workload and the risk of failure to complete the schedule in their school unit. We concluded that these Public Educational Policies (BNCC and NEM) implemented in Rio de Janeiro correspond to an educational project founded on a neoliberal bias that aims to meet the demands of the business sector, transforming education into a commodity. The consequences for Physical Education in Rio de Janeiro include the reduction of mandatory hours in High School
and the use of fear, generated by the risk of losing full-time integration in the school unit. This fear serves as coercion and control to obtain the consensus and adherence of teachers in favor of the ongoing hegemonic project.
