EDUCATION AND TERRITORY: EDUCATION POLICY FOR HIGH SCHOOL WITHIN PUBLIC SCHOOL STR UCTURING

This paper aims at analyzing theoretical perspectives and educational legislation enacted for High School, pondering upon the relationship between education and territory, and how it is materialized in public education policy. The main legal framework put in place for High School was the Law of Lines of Direction and Bases of Education, the National Plan for Education, and Law 13.415/2017, which enacts the so-called New High School. Through bibliographical research and document analysis, it was identified that, in addition to focusing on market-based training and not on humanistic learning, the legislation does not outline actions for Brazilian High School education that are pertinent to the reality in this plural space. Proposing High School as training for the job market not only intensifies differences between public and private school networks, but also impacts the subjects in their territories, which are deeply changed due to the policy`s standardizing attempts.
