Venezuelan education in times of war

ABSTRACT

This essay characterizes in a general way the unilateral and coercive actions against Venezuela, promoted in these last two decades by the governments of the United States (USA) and its impact on social public policies, specifically educational ones. Emphasis is placed on this descriptive - analytical effort, on the measures taken by the Obama - Trump administration, the effects of which have been devastating for the country's economy, with clear consequences on the daily life of the Venezuelan people. The purpose of such actions of war, inscribed in the political doctrine of "regime change", has been to create disaffection and rejection of society towards the country's political leadership and the Bolivarian political project, to facilitate the aforementioned agenda. The U.S. government He has used the complicity of the Organization of American States (OAS), as well as the conspiracy of governments of countries in the region gathered in the self-proclaimed "Lima Group" poster, whose characteristic features are their obedience and submission to political-ideological guidelines of the ultraconservative sectors of the USA in power and its corporate allies outside it. Hence, some features of the social policy of the Bolivarian Revolution are glimpsed, emphasizing educational policy in times of deepening of the class struggle whose expression is the hybridization of the war against the Bolivarian project.
