Brazil is part of the BRICs , a group of countries known for their fast economic growth in recent years. In addition to the economic growth, educational reforms have also been rapidly implemented. One reason for this economic growth was the intervention of international agencies and the neoliberal reforms that were implemented. The educational reforms were also based on neoliberal ideas. This article will discuss the influences of neoliberalism on educational reforms in Brazil through four of the educational policies implemented. Each school now has set goals to achieve, and this performance will affect the teachers’ income in some States. On the other hand, social democratic reforms are also part of the educational reform. How are the two streams of educational reform influencing schools? This article will analyze the influence of educational reforms at a local level. In addition, it will discuss the difficulties that schools face now that they have to implement liberal reforms as well as welfare policies related to the educational reform.
