ABSTRACT:

The objective of this research was to analyse Financial Education in the basic and public education in Goiás. The general aim is to investigate and understand the two existing programs in the basic and public education about Financial Education, more specifically the More Education Program, with the Environmental Education macro field. Sustainable Development and Solidarity and Creative Economy/Economic Education (Fiscal Financial Education) and the Financial Education at School Program. Regarding the theoretical framework, this work was guided by studies by Laval (2004), Dardot and Laval (2016), Saviani (2009), Harvey (2008), Freidman (1982), Hayek (2010). Regarding the methodology, this research is bibliographic/documentary, as it involves reading, selecting and recording literature of interest for the proposed qualitative study. To this end, we employ the following techniques: a) content analysis to determine the theoretical-methodological foundation that guided the research techniques, as well as the selection of bibliographic sources pertinent to the Financial Education guidelines in the Goiás school environment; and b) selection of documentary sources, in which we analyze the guiding documents of the More Education Program, as well as the booklet Economic Education, which is specific to the Environmental Education, Sustainable Development and Solidarity and Creative Economy/Economic Education (Fiscal Financial Education) macro-field, and the documents of the Financial Education at School program with the analysis of the notebook of the teacher and student of Blocks I, II and III of High School. The results suggest the penetration of banking institutions' interest in educational processes as a way of balancing youth over-indebtedness in their early years of earnings and income, thus meeting a need for the capitalist financial market and also ensuring that the ruling classes maintain their privileges by manipulating basic Financial Education information with the working class, turning these young people into potential consumers only. In this way, the increase in popular savings, the increase in the amount of sales of supplementary pensions and insurance is ensured and, consequently, some control over the young people's choices for financial products and services offered by the banking networks. Therefore, the present work aimed to contribute to a broadening of the Financial Education vision, turning to an Economic Education that should include a critical view of the modus operandi of financial capitalism, from the perspective of the main economic schools, instead of privileging an economic conception based on acceptance and learning of economic principles convenient to financial capitalism.
