Abstract

In a special interview for the journal Educação em Análise, Professor José Carlos Libâneo, whose reflections have a profound influence on the educational field, explores issues related to the role of pedagogy, teacher training, and the challenges of education in a context of intense social, cultural, and economic transformations. Divided into topics ranging from curricular policies to educational processes in human rights, the interview discusses the impact of neoliberalism on the school curriculum, the teacher training process, and the challenges posed by the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC) and BNC-Training. In addition to reflections on the social inequalities that permeate Brazilian public schools, the role of these schools in the formation of critical and emancipated citizens is also analyzed, providing a reflection on the identity and future of education in the country. Throughout the discussion, Professor Libâneo provokes deep questioning and reflections on the purposes of education in the 21st century. After all, what are schools for?
