The objective of this article is to discuss the theoretical basis of the flexibility model established by Law 13.415/2017 and adopted by the "reformers" of high school education, which sets up educational pathways linked to the concept of life projects. The research, resulting from a documentary study of Law 13.415/2017, BNCC/2018, DCNEM/2018, and MEC Ordinance 1.432/2018, is based on authors from the Marxist field such as Frigotto (2010), Araujo (2019), Ciavatta (2020), Krawczyk (2014), and Silva (2003; 2018) to understand the current neoliberal educational flexibility policy oriented towards the end of basic education. It analyzes the flexibility adopted in the current high school reform, using atomization and curricular integration, as discussed by Santomé (1998), as concepts for analysis. We conclude that the current reform proposes a policy discourse of integral training, as opposed to a perspective of integrated high school, which atomizes the curriculum, the life projects of young people, and reduces the choices of training, qualification and work projects for these young people. The theoretical basis which underpins the discourse of the current high school reform is based on a pragmatic and instrumental perspective of training, which hierarchizes curricular activities, silences social issues, minimizes the curriculum and scientific knowledge, and individualizes training.
