DALBOSCO, Claudio A.; GARCIA, Gislene  e  SCHMIDT RIZZI, Luciana Maria. Public education in pandemic-neoliberal times: the intellectual-formative role of the school principal. Prax. Saber [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.38, pp.120-136.  Epub 20-Nov-2023. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v14.n38.2023.15426.

The article addresses how much the connection between the advance of individualistic entrepreneurship and the outbreak of the pandemic contributes decisively to intensify the bureaucratic-administrative profile of the school principal, by pushing them to withdraw from their intellectual-formative role, in the name of bureaucratic-administrative functions, deprived of their cultural meaning. In this context, the article supports the hypothesis that the clarification of this intellectual-formative role implies a critical dialogue with the classical pedagogical tradition, especially by understanding the concept of human formation as preparation, which is originated from the ancient Graeco-Latin meaning. It also shows how the ethical-political dimension emerges from this dialogue, which is indispensable to make the form of governance exercised by the school principal democratic and participative.
