The objective of this article is to discuss the expansion of the Federal Professional, Scientific and Technological Education Network, with the implementation of the Federal Institutes within the scope of the public and educational policies during the Lula government. First, we present the historicity of the Federal Professional, Scientific and Technological Education Network and, subsequently, we analyze the data that reflect the materialization of the Federal Institutes in Brazil, from 2008. It is considered that the State, although hegemonized by the bourgeoisie, it is not absolutely bourgeois. Therefore, with the creation of the Federal Institutes, there was an expansion of the offer of public education which, although also within the limits of class society, constitutes a possibility for the formation and development of "organic intellectuals" committed to overcoming capitalist social relations.

Keywords : Educational Policies; Professional Education; Federal Institutes.
