Resumen

La educación de los pobres suele ser el tema de las políticas educativas globales para una sociedad más justa, igualitaria, efectiva y productiva. Sin embargo, según este artículo, los problemas reales en estos aspectos no se relacionan con la educación de los pobres, como lo son los de las clases sociales superiores y las élites globales cuya herencia de poder social, cultural y económico está garantizada en parte por De manera directa, y por otro lado, a través de la reproducción de los valores de la cultura burguesa en la educación escolar de élite, asumiendo su supuesta superioridad y su código educativo: primero en educación básica y en sus currículos, y luego en educación superior. Las escuelas y sus currículos son el enfoque de este artículo. Usando análisis etnográficos y metaetnográficos, se presenta la comprensión de una relación bidireccional entre la lógica escolar de la elite y las polarizaciones de valores peligrosos que pueden desarrollarse a través de la segregación social y académica. Además, se hace una crítica de la diferenciación, segregación y socialización educativa realizada por las escuelas de élite en términos de cómo estas escuelas proporcionan un acceso distorsionado al conocimiento y las posiciones sociales futuras para los niños de las clases dominantes para contrarrestar la meritocracia y la eficiencia educativa, produciendo conceptos preocupantes sobre el valor de "yo" y "Otro" entre los estudiantes, con efectos significativos en el futuro de la democracia.
