SAES, Décio Azevedo Marques de. Obstáculos políticos à concretização do direito à educação no Brasil. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.22, pp.23-39. ISSN 1981-0431.

The aim of this article is to investigate the historical reasons for the gap between two dimensions of the compliance to the right to education in Brazil: the effectuation of the universal right to enter the schooling system and the accomplishment of the right to leave that system. The conclusion of this study is that the middle class is the main agent of the establishment and the evolution of the right to education in Brazil. As the aspirations of this social class are socially limited, the possibilities of full compliance of the universal right to education in Brazilian society are consequently reduced, as long as it is in conformity to the capitalist model of social and economic organization.

Keywords : Education; Right; Trajectory; Strategy; Middle Class; School Failure.
