Resumo
This study investigates the role that the Espírito Santo em Ação Business Movement (Meesa) has played in the field of educational policies in Espírito Santo, and to what extent Meesa reflects the organizational logic of national and international business movements in education. Based on the theoretical framework of Antonio Gramsci, the aim is to analyze Meesa's educational project, as well as its role in shaping educational policies in Espírito Santo, in order to understand the meaning of its formulations for public education, its modus operandi, its connections with other organizations, and the role of its organic intellectuals in building and shaping bourgeois hegemony in the educational field of the state. The analysis reveals Meesa's strong presence in the political-economic direction of the state, mainly through the Espírito Santo Development Plans (ES 2025, ES 2030, and ES 500 Years). The movement has managed to combine various organizational facets, articulating business political-economic representation, veiled by the rhetoric of social responsibility and the common good, with the explicit goal of intervening in multiple areas of public policy. In doing so, it has tended to expand bourgeois hegemony as a collective organic intellectual, since it produces and disseminates ideas and works to build class unity and strategy. Over its 20 years of operation, Meesa has achieved increasing levels of influence in education through three main phases: the first (2003–2013), marked by initial corporate-oriented proposals that linked the appropriation of public funds to workforce training defined in the ES 2025 Plan and updated in ES 2030; the second (2014–2018), defined by the consolidation of its formulations through articulation and mediation with the state apparatus to implement the pedagogical and business management model of the Instituto de Corresponsabilidade pela Educação (ICE) in the state public network (Programa Escola Viva) and the municipal network of Vitória; and the third (2019–2023), characterized by the dissemination, reproduction, and implementation of its proposals in the municipal education systems of Espírito Santo. Throughout this process, the growing capillarity of the movement is evident, made possible by the associations within the Business Network and the structuring of its internal team, which came to include precariously hired consultants to lead the plan for expanding Full-Time Schools in the municipalities. At this stage, its concept of full-time education is revealed as a pseudo-integrality—a unilateral formative approach aligned with the interests of the dominant class, devoid of any intention of human cultural enrichment. The greatest challenge in the educational field in Espírito Santo is to understand the strategies, tactics, and class-based connections of business formulations, to identify, dispute, and occupy the trenches, and to prepare and wield theoretical-practical tools to engage in political struggle against the bourgeois hegemony that permeates the entire social fabric.
