Abstract

There are endless ideas about education, and even more about its purposes, with the pendulum constantly swinging between the cultural, political, ideological and personal contexts, in the shere of the subject and the multiplicity of subjectivities that make it a person. From philosophical, through to sociological and pedagogical writings, education and training always have in sight knowledge and learning in mind, usually discussed in curricular proposals - yes, since curriculum is knowledge – from different perspectives. This paper analyzes the rationalities of State, Subject and Market as approaches that swing between numbers and individuals.
