This article aims to compare measures taken in the health and education sectors during the pandemic crisis in Brazil from March 2020 to December 2021, problematizing the dimensions of inter-federative conflicts in a system considered structured, such as the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) [Unified Health System], and in a system considered unstructured, such as the Sistema Nacional de Educação. As a theoretical-methodological framework, we mobilized the history of the present time, based on François Dosse and other authors, to support the analysis of official sources of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and journalistic sources. The final considerations point out that the existence of a consolidated system, such as the Unified Health System, was unable to mitigate the pandemic crisis caused by Bolsonarist management. Therefore, the establishment of an National Education System would not be enough either, given the subjection of the federated entities to the central government.
