Abstract
The article analyzes the contemporary dynamics of puncture of the public fund by big capital, in educational policy, before the Student Financing Fund (FIES), with emphasis on the post-coup d'état context of 2016. From the theoretical-methodological point of view, it uses to historical-dialectical materialism as a method of analysis and, in relation to research techniques used, it is built through literature review and document analysis. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the text is divided into two dialectically related moments: in the first item, it discusses the advance of financial capital in contemporary bourgeois society, in order to relate such expansion to the strategic role of the dispute for the public fund; in the second item, it analyzes the FIES as an instrument for transferring public funds to the private. It concludes that the FIES expresses a dilution relationship between the public and the private through the puncture of the public fund sector and discusses the ongoing trends in the process of financialization of education in Brazil.
