Abstract
The main goal of this article is to analyse the Non-Partisan School movement (EsP, or Escola sem Partido) which articulates social and political actors around a conservative agenda for education in Brazil. Based on Ball’s studies, this article analyses political governance networks using a free software, GEPHI, using a qualitative network methodology. The article analyses some relevant social actors in this conservative initiative. The research shows that the Non-Partisan School, though presented as an initiative against ideological indoctrination, is in fact the result of a strong combination of ideological, conservative and partisan interests. The article shows that EsP is a conservative agenda among other movements in the struggle for ideological hegemony in the educational field.
本文的主要目的是分析无党派学校运动(EsP,或Escola sem Partido),该运动围绕巴西保守的教育议程阐述了社会和政治行为者。基于鲍尔的研究,本文使用免费软件GEPHI,使用定性网络方法分析政治治理网络。文章分析了这一保守举措中的一些相关社会行动者。研究表明,无党派学派虽然是一种反对意识形态灌输的倡议,但实际上是意识形态、保守主义和党派利益紧密结合的结果。文章指出,在教育领域的意识形态霸权斗争中,EsP是其他运动中的一个保守议程。

The peer-reviewed journal allows for a refinement of theoretical and practical basis for improving the quality of education, furthering the opportunity to directly create reflective classroom practices.
