Aspectos educativos das lutas contemporâneas em defesa da educação pública: uma análise do Encontro Nacional de Educação.

This text is inserted in discussions about popular social movements and their articulation around the struggle for education. The article presents the results and reflections of a qualitative research conducted in order to understand some educational aspects that are present in contemporary struggles in defense of public education. For that, a documentary study was developed on the materials produced and disseminated by the collective outlets of the First National Meeting of Education (ENE), held in 2014 in Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil. The collected materials were submitted to the Discursive Textual Analysis (DAT) procedures and the categories of the research were obtained in an inductive manner and contextualized with a critical theoretical framework of educational policies. Research showed assumptions involved in the struggle for public education: the need for rearticulation of organized subjects and reaffirmation of public education as a social right and the resistance to fragmentation and increasing commercialization of the educational field from the scenario given by educational policies.
