NARODOWSKI, Mariano. Políticas públicas e infancia: deseos y límites a la igualdad en la educación. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.54, pp.551-789. ISSN 1413-2478.

This article describes a social scenario using the concepts of state monopoly on education in a democratic society, free and compulsory education for as long as possible; childhood as a Reason of State, the alliance between schools and families with emphasis on the student and science as a paradigm of what can be taught. The elements point to public policies on primary education which respect the principle of equality from the perspective of the full right to education. For this scenario to be possible, some issues will be delineated: parental authority over childhood, commoditized urban development and absolute right to educate and be educated according to unique cultural agendas. The article inquires about the reasons for these limitations and the possibilities of public policies ensuring unrestricted respect for the principle of equality, modifying some of the elements of the social scenario originally proposed.

Palabras clave : Equality; State Monopoly; Public Policies; Right to Education.
