Abstract. The The article discusses the connections between the neoliberal guidelines for school education inserted in documents from international organizations and the guidelines for the Brazilian school curriculum expressed in the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC, especially for the teaching of Geography. Neoliberal curriculum policies and their internationalization, as reflected in World Bank documents, have a definite impact on educational policy planning in developing countries, in relation to curricula, teaching practices and educational legislation. Centralized training programs focus on meeting basic learning needs to strengthen productive capacity and measure knowledge and skills through standardized external assessments. The supranational common technical language curriculum is more focused on creating learning profiles for the production system and implementing large-scale standardized processes, in line with educational policies and recommendations of international organizations, without fully taking into account the ideas of the curriculum aimed at poverty reduction, and refocuses it on the individual and social well-being of all social classes. Initially, the traits of neoliberalism in the context of globalization and internationalization of educational policies are shown and how they appear in curricular guidelines. Then, guidelines from international organizations such as the World Bank, UNESCO and OECD are recorded, and their projection in educational reforms, especially in Brazil. Finally, considering the current BNCC being in force in the country, a critical analysis of the curricular proposal for the teaching of Geography inserted in this document is presented.
Keywords: neoliberalism, curriculum policies, geopolitics, the world bank, organization for economic cooperation and development.
