Estado, economia e educação: uma relação conflitiva e um caminho alternativo para superação das desigualdades sociais

For decades the Brazilian Public School has been marked by the low level in the binomial teaching/learning. The political power has demonstrated unable to introduce an organic and efficient education system.

This paper proposes that the capital used to the Public Schools may be injected into the private sector, offering funding of education for the popular classes from the market laws.
