This text addresses the experience of the Polytechnic Secondary School in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, aiming at discussing the “new paradigm” that has the Polytechnic as the foundation and guiding principle of the educational policy of the Governor Tarso Genro (2011-2014). Methodologically, this study is supported by bibliographical research, literature review and in-depth interview submitted to content analysis. As results, we affirm that the proposals of the “new school” influenced the socialist intellectuals. His pedagogical ideas came to Russia, where they were widespread, even before the Soviet revolution. There, although such ideas suffered some restrictions, the progressive forces took them as a parameter for the debate about the renewal of the school in a society that struggled to be socialist and industrially developed. In the implementation of the educational policy in RS and in the performance of schools, dissonances and misunderstandings about the conceptual dimension of polytechnic education are reproduced.
Keywords: educational policy, polytechnic high school, polytechnic.
