School and social exclusion in the critical regressive continuum of public policies

Abstract

The essay discusses the lessons that emerged from the historical moment known as ”The pandemic due to the effects of Covid–19" and in the time after it. Although it reflexively focuses on public policies in education and their expression in educational and school praxis, it contextualizes and discusses within the main issues that signify an aspirational time, of attempts to reconstruct “hope”, more as a speculative exercise than a real one. In times of chiaroscuro glimpses of "monsters” and "demons”, to paraphrase Gramsci. This framework serves to reflect on the impacts on “social rights”, including education, in times of evident social and economic setbacks of historically excluded sectors. And even, this theoretical–documentary recreation proposes a critical perspective on the enunciation and concretization in the exercise of fundamental rights and conquests in a country like Venezuela, subjected to a systematic siege for more than a decade.
