The object of present work is the Integrated High School (EMI), understood as a public policy of professional education. The objective is to show that the EMI represented, in the recent history of Brazilian education, an inflection towards the interests of the working class. The analysis is made from the investigation about the claims for professional education elaborated by a representative entity of the Brazilian salaried workers, the Unified Worker’s Central (CUT). For this, collective documents formulated by the entity between 2002 and 2016 were analyzed. On the other hand, we investigated some legal milestones that supported the implementation of the EMI, tying to indentify the incorporation of workers’ interests into public policy. From a theoretical point of view, we consider a specific reading about the concept of capitalist state and its autocratic conformation (FERNANDES, 2014) in the Brazilian reality. In addition, the concept of neodevelopmentalist front, which explains the political-economic conjuncture of the governments during the analyzed period, as elaborated by Boito Jr. (2018), is particularly important in order to obtain the conclusions. Finally, we discuss about some of the challenges of the struggle of the working classes for a professional education that be capable of, even in adverse conditions, effect education and learning as social rights, in the way that the EMI has put it on the agenda.
