This research questions the teachers’ social role in the face of current educational policies in Brazil, which are influenced by economic neoliberalism. The scientific methodology used was the legal hermeneutics of the educational policy. Also, it uses a qualitative analysis of Governmental Programs and bibliographic review (FREIRE; DARDOT; LAVAL; GIDDENS; SENNETT; GRAMSCI). The objective is to problematize how economic neoliberalismo determines educational policies and doing so, to show the teacher’s social function as an intellectual worker. One conclusion is that neoliberal theories are the main infuence on the present educational policies in Brazil, following the trend worldwide. The article also concludes presenting which the teachers could perform to practice their social role against the economic neoliberalism.
