Formation of the working class in times of pandemic and capital crisis: the agenda of private hegemonic apparatus

Abstract

This is a theoretical research based on official documents produced between 2015 and 2020 by multilateral organizations and civil society organizations, as well as news published on the Internet that deal with issues related to education, especially during the period of the new coronavirus pandemic. There is a call for the use of technologies and education in Distance Learning, combined with speeches that highlight socio-emotional competences and teacher training from the perspective of flexibility and centrality in the student as the protagonist of their own choices in light of increasing social inequalities and new requirements from the labor market. Historical materialism was used as the method of analysis, under which the relationship between work and education and the resulting educational policies are apprehended as an expression of the order of capital. In the current historical moment, capital in crisis determines the new training conditions and needs for the working class, materialized by the action of the private hegemonic apparatus and collective intellectuals of capital, these examined in the light of Gramsci's contributions.
