ABSTRACT:
The text aims to discuss the counter-reform of high school undertaken by the current government (Law 13,415, February 16, 2017). In the perspective of living the present as already possessed of a historical sense, the understanding of the article maintains that this law bears the same spirit of the educational policies that occurred in Brazilian high school in the Vargas dictatorship, in the military dictatorship and in the 1990s. In addition of presenting the content that tends to deepen school inequalities, the counter-reform of high school was forged by a narrow group of actors strongly linked to privatizing interests. Contrary, therefore, to the experiences lived during the democratic-popular government (2003-2015) of social inclusion and participation of the various segments of society.
