Abstract

This paper analyzes aspects of the history of education in Brazil related to the consolidation of public schools and educational policies. The period marked begins with the 1930s, a time when the organization and implementation of a public school system in the country has become a condition for the socio-economic development, and extends to the 2000s with the consolidation of democracy and the rule of law in Brazil. It is based on documentary sources developed by governmental and scientific organizations and the literature produced by researchers. The data show that over the period there was an increase in all levels of education, however, continues to persist traces of elitism and exclusion. Moreover, there is contrast between the quality of graduate and public school, which has failed its essential function. These findings highlight the need to solve these problems in order to advance democracy in the country.
