IT is for man that education must exist. Such a statement may seem too obvious to make at all. Yet its meaning is rarely understood today. Too many contemporary educators fail to recognize the central point of man in the educative process. There is lavish talk of education for the masses, education for today, education for tomorrow, education for democracy, education for business, education for science and industry, education for power and even education for death. But the real problem is education for man. Man may make various uses of his education in contributing to political and social enlightenment, in increasing our technological control, in elevating the standards of the multitude, and in diminishing human pain and suffering (or in increasing the agony of men by multiplying methods and instruments of war and death). These uses, however, are after-products. The particular product — and the root-problem — is man and his personal and spiritual awakening, growth and fulfillment.

Este artigo faz uma reflexão sobre o binômio educação e trabalho, tendo como referência a estratégia de reestruturação do processo produtivo e os programas educacionais implementados no setor da construção. O processo de reestruturação produtiva no setor se inicia em 1983, onde as construtoras foram compelidas a promover alterações na organização do processo de trabalho. É dentro deste cenário que se inserem tanto a estratégia da terceirização, como a alfabetização/ qualificação profissional. Portanto, nosso foco de análise incidiu sobre estes dois tipos distintos de iniciativas, que correspondem a dois momentos diferentes na história recente da empresa pesquisada. Para tanto procuramos compreender as mudanças e as implicações nas condições de trabalho, na organização e no conteúdo do trabalho decorrentes da adoção da terceirização. Esta análise se ocupou também dos projetos de alfabetização mantidos nos canteiros de obras, através do confronto entre a visão expressa pelo setor administrativo da construtora pesquisada e pelos trabalhadores acerca do significado, da importância e do papel atribuído à educação.
