Paper prepared for the International Seminar on Best Practices of Secondary Education (IDB/OCED/Ministry of Education), Brasilia, May 3-4, 2010. Professional education cannot become a second-rate alternative for those unable to follow the academic curriculum, and it is not possible to come back to the old segmented systems which, even in the best cases, divide the students along stratified study tracks, strongly correlated to their family's social origins. The experiences of comprehensive...

Entrevista, Globo Educação, 6/8/2011. Aos 15 anos de idade o aluno já está em uma boa época para fazer opções. Não opções profissionais, mas certas opções que ele acaba fazendo na prática.

Entrevista a Ivan Marsiglia, O Estado de São Paulo, 14 de novembro de 2010. A questão é: precisamos de um Enem desse tipo? Na experiência de outros passes, existe algo semelhante? A resposta é não. Em sua origem, nos anos 90, o Enem era uma maneira de obter um padrão de referência para o ensino médio. Um teste de competência, não de conhecimento - em que se analisa nos alunos a capacidade de raciocínio, o uso da língua, a capacidade de expressão e a de resolver questões. Mas se...

O Estado de São Paulo, Opinião, 6 de fevereiro de 2012. Há um abismo separando o ensino médio no Brasil do que se faz no resto do mundo. Exemplo dessa distância é a Resolução 2, de 30 de Janeiro de 2012, do Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE). Ali se alarga o fosso que existe entre as elites brasileiras e o mundo das pessoas que dependem de suas decisões.

Simon Blog, agosto de 2016 No Brasil, a adoção das ideias de Gramsci se corporificou no conceito de “politecnia”, que resume esta ideia de união entre o trabalho intelectual e o trabalho manual. Este conceito foi adotado sobretudo por educadores associados às escolas técnicas federais, que podiam assim reivindicar para si o mesmo prestígio, e as mesmas condições salário e trabalho, que os professores das universidades federais, sem abandonar uma postura política radical.
