An Evaluation of Law No. 13,415/17 Based on Legistics and the PNE Goals

Abstract The legislative policy of basic education in recent years is far from tackling the current deep crisis of the Brazilian educational system. We must rethink legislative practices in order to improve its quality, implementing changes in public education. In this context, this research aims to analyze the procedure of the curricular reform of upper secondary education established by Law No. 13,415/2017, based on the quality parameters of Legistics and Legisprudence, as well as to evaluate the content of the law taking as a starting point the goals for basic education of the National Education Plan (PNE) 2014/2024. Finally, it concludes that the steps of the circuit of legislative action were not observed and, on merit, the reform does little to contribute to the implementation of the PNE goals.
