Volume VI of the Critical Dialogues collection is the fruit of an immense collective effort and commitment to the class struggle. It presents a set of articles that provide reflections on the complex relationship between crisis and the restructuring of capital, as well as its political, ideological, and economic expansion in education, via the process of commodification in the neoliberal context. Neoliberalism is understood as capitalism's response to the structural crisis, which impacts Brazilian educational policies. This affects everything from the effective right to education for students at all stages of basic schooling to teacher training in Brazilian higher education institutions. This model embodies a vehement threat to secular, free, high-quality, and socially informed public education, as it aims to gradually transform it into a service, to the detriment of effective rights. This work features articles that address concrete issues of bourgeois society in the context of capital restructuring and class struggle. They begin with concrete social practice and highlight elements of the clash of competing societal projects. They also demarcate Rural Education as a combative concept delimited from a revolutionary praxis of the working class in the dispute over the field, public policy and education as a universal right.
