Abstract

The present chapter aims to discuss one of the most recent documents of education reform in Brazil, namely one that affects primary school curriculum, with implications for teacher education institutions—the Base Nacional Comum Curricular—Brazilian National Curricular Guidelines for Primary Education, approved in 2017 and homologated by the Presidency of Brazil. The aim of the chapter is not to delve into the curricular guidelines themselves, but rather to discuss the perceptions gleaned from the analysis made by the National Council of Education (Brazil, Conselho Nacional de Educação, CNE, Parecer sobre a Base Nacional Comum Curricular, 2017). It is also to argue on reactions expressed by counselors that revealed their judgments. Lastly, it considers the opinions gathered in emails and manifestoes by the National Association of Post Graduate Studies (ANPEd), as well as in Brazilian newspapers about the subject. It argues that a multicultural approach should contribute to link the search for excellence to social inclusion and to the development of citizens that value diversity and have a clear stand against prejudices on the lines of race, gender, ethnicity, and other identity markers. It posits that educational reforms in Brazil should gears to challenge educational inequality and to promote the inclusion of marginalized groups. It also analyses the extent to which the state has been subject to disparate forces that impinge on the present curricular reform.
