REFORM OF THE LAW OF GUIDELINES AND BASES: NEEDS AND PROPOSALS FOR CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION

Abstract

This study analyzed the impacts of the new Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB) on Brazilian education, focusing on the changes introduced, the challenges faced and the future perspectives. The central problem investigated was to understand the main challenges and advances arising from the implementation of the new LDB. The general objective was to analyze the impacts of the new LDB, highlighting the changes, challenges and future perspectives. The bibliographic review methodology was used, with consultation of scientific articles, theses, dissertations, and official documents, covering publications between 1995 and 2023. The results indicated that the curricular changes promoted by the new LDB, especially in the inclusion of themes such as ethnic-racial relations and special education, aimed at a more inclusive education. However, challenges such as lack of resources, cultural resistance and inadequate infrastructure were identified. The continuing education of teachers proved to be essential for the effective implementation of the LDB guidelines. The analysis of educational practices pointed to the need for a more reflective and critical approach in the evaluation of students. In the final considerations, the importance of a continuous commitment to teacher training, improvement of school infrastructure and promotion of inclusive and equitable education was highlighted. It is recommended that future studies be carried out to complement the conclusions on the effects of the new LDB.
