This paper focuses on the role of school education in an environment marked by contradictions. On the one hand, it is practiced an education of reproducing patterns, on the other hand a transformative education in which the learning process is continuous, flexible and meaningful for the individual. In this context, the purpose of this article is to discuss the role of school education using as main references: Bourdieu, through the social reproduction viewpoint, and Pedro Demo, focusing on human development and on the fight against political poverty. For this purpose, a bibliographic research, with a qualitative approach, was developed from the theoretical perspective of these authors. Some works of these authors are used for analysis, and it is added the relationship between education and work, assessed by a survey performed with Oil Industry workers. Questions are made in order to elucidate expressions that have been trivialized in political speeches such as “It is necessary to invest in education”. Demo suggests an emancipatory education, of strategic content, which is compromised on the qualification. The country maintains high unemployment rates and it is necessary to reflect about issues such as the ones addressed in this text to create opportunities.
