OS DESAFIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO EM TEMPOS DE PANDEMIA: A CRUEL PEDAGOGIA DO VÍRUS

Abstract

The present work proposes to verticalize analyses that problematize the difficulties caused in the educational process during the pandemic with regard to the development of classes by remote means, which evidenced a deepening of the already existing social inequalities, transforming them into school inequalities. In this case, what is being questioned, a priori, is the role of the school as a space for diluting social inequalities, as an epistemological value and educational praxis in Brazil, at a time of marked social, health and educational crisis caused by the spread of the SARS-Covid 19 virus. Thus, the primary issue for this investigation is centered on the sad pedagogy of the virus. Put another way, how the Covid-19 epidemic has laid bare the serious social problems already evidenced in our society that, historically determined, have been shifted to school inequality, putting public educational institutions at the center of the discussion. It is evident that andeducation should be considered as the key point to mitigate the social impacts and change the reality of those who suffer from inequalities, however, the pandemic period demonstrated the fragility and structural problems that contemporary education faces today.
