Colégios cívico-militares no tocantins:

Abstract

In this exploratory work, of the bibliographical research type, we aimed to analyze the process of militarization of public schools, specifically in the city of Araguaína/TO. To carry out this study, it was initially necessary to review how the educational reform occurred in Brazil and the implementation of Military Colleges in Brazil. As a result, the concept of a civic-military school spreads as a response to patriotic desires, however, it is criticized for potentially distorting the educational objectives recommended by the 1988 Constitution. As a result, with the current nature of the topic, there is a scarcity of articles on the topic of Civic-Military Colleges in Tocantins, in addition, the research results showed that the civil-military school system violates Brazilian educational laws and policies without any epistemological basis, as this model significantly hinders the individuality of students, as well as the development of research and education policies. Where the main consequences highlighted are the weakening and democratic repression of behavior, thought and educational practices. It also points to the general devaluation of education, where this school model is more concerned with discipline than teaching.
