The present article tried to understand, from the actions of the Municipal Council of Education of Montes Claros, effective forms of social control under the perspective of action of the Counselors. The objective was to infer if the practices developed within the respective Council contributed directly to the exercise of social control of the right to education for all. It is understood, as proposed by the Pólis Institute (2008), that social control is important to ensure that government policies meet, in fact, the priority needs of the population, concerning the improvement of levels of supply and quality of services, as well as the control and inspection of public resources. The broad participation of society in social control strengthens public policies, making them more suited to the needs of the community and the public interest in relation to their scope and purpose. Thus, the methodological procedure used was based on documentary analysis through internal regulations and minutes, bibliographic research and interviews with counselors.

Keywords : Participation; Social Control; Municipal Council of Education.
