This thesis aims primarily to investigate the revolutionary potential of Brazilian public education students, as manifested in the experience of school occupations by secondary school students (2015-2016). The research seeks to determine how these students, due to the socio-economic determinations inherent in capitalist society, coupled with a history of education marked by scholastic dualism in line with the recent adoption of neoliberal public policies, particularly in education, establish themselves as a protoproletariat - an intermediate position preceding full proletarianization. The proposed framework invokes historical-dialectical materialism as a key interpretive tool and engages with various authors from the Marxist tradition, discussing topics such as social classes, capitalist exploitation, dependency, social transformation, social movements, labor precarization, and their relationships with public education. The methodological procedures employed encompass bibliographic research, documentary research, data collection, and ex-post facto research. This latter methodological procedure directly pertains to the analysis of the experiences of secondary school student occupations that occurred in 2015 and 2016. Despite their distinct motivations, these occupations have essential connections for the realization of this study. This is because the occupations provided public school students with a tangible experience of class solidarity by establishing new forms of communal living rooted in collectivist values such as self-management, horizontal organization, and collective decision-making, in contrast to the individualistic values promoted by the neoliberal education model. The results obtained reveal that these students, fully aware of the negative effects stemming from the precarization of labor relations and the various structural inequalities present in capitalist society, rebel against austerity measures, budget cuts, and privatizations that directly impact the quality and accessibility of public education. This stance reinforces the validity and relevance of understanding public education students as part of a protoproletariat, which represents a concrete manifestation of their revolutionary potential. These results underscore the importance of recognizing the agency of these students and the significance of their demands as a force of resistance and transformation within contemporary society.
