This article, based on a bibliographical and documentary study, analyzes the way in which education is inserted in the process of class struggle in the current context of degradation of social rights, resulting from the implementation of neoliberal policies. It analyzes the contradictions between different education projects, related to the process of privatization of educational services and de-characterization of its public and social character. Contrary to this tendency, we discuss a conception of education capable of articulating with a project of overcoming capitalism as a condition for human emancipation. It points out the importance of the ethical-political project of the Social Service in the construction of a class-based education project that, anchored in the Marxist tradition, values professional qualification, knowledge production, and professional practice articulated to social struggles in general and in defense of public education, secular, free and of good quality, based on an anti-capitalist society project.
