In this article we present reflections from research developed between the years 2015 to 2017, in the Research Line of Knowledge and Educational Practices, within the scope of the Postgraduate Program in Education, Master's course, from the Federal University of Uberlandia, whose objectives meet to be linked to the fight for Public Education with quality and socially referenced, in favor of the popular classes. Based on the writings of Freire (1987, 1996), Brandão (1983), Novais (2002), Streck (2008, 2009) regarding schooling of popular classes in Brazil, Sacristán (2005) on the social construction of the student, Oliveira (2002), Kuhlmann (2015) among others about education and childhood, and in the propositions of Moscovici (1961, 2007) and Alves-Mazzotti (2008, 2010) on the Theory of Social Representations, we analyze the teachers’ representations of Early Childhood Education on students of popular classes of municipal schools of Uberlandia – MG, highlight elements that exemplify its meaning. In this way, we chose to understand the reference systems through the relationship between the theoretical methodological field of Social Representations linked to the legacy of Popular Education. We hope, therefore, to contribute to clarify aspects about the schooling opportunities of the popular classes, especially those related to teachers' representations about students and the possibility of effecting access and permanence to formal Education as a human right.
