From social convivation to household reclusion

discussion about the regularization of Homeschooling in Brazil from the creation of Social Apartheid

Abstract

The fundamental right to education has as one of its objectives the recognition of individuals as protagonists in the search for social justice. The formation of an ethical, free, egalitarian, peaceful and fair society necessarily involves the emancipation of citizens through education. Driven by the Digital Age, in this scenario, the discussion about the regulation of Homeschooling in Brazil arises, mainly from the Judiciary and Legislative Branches, presenting itself as a serious setback, given the possibility of directly harming the individual's socialization process. As a general objective, this research sought to demonstrate the need to legislate on the subject in view of the risks to the realization of the fundamental right to education and to the increase in social inequalities. To this end, the definition of Homeschooling was verified, the discussion in the Supreme Federal Court (STF), in the judgment of RE 888.815/2018. This research was structured as follows: the first topic was dedicated to investigating the definition of Homeschooling, as well as observing the position of the Supreme Federal Court when judging Extraordinary Appeal No. 888.815/2018 -RS. The second topic aimed to understand the possibility of regulating Homeschooling based on the discussion held within the National Congress, in order to then identify whether such a scenario is favorable to the promotion of the constitutional principle of equality. Using the deductive method and bibliographic and documentary research techniques, it was concluded that the discussion about the regulation of this method solely from a political perspective, without observing the reality of Brazilian society, will aggravate the phenomenon of Brazilian Social Apartheid.
