The Brazilian Literacy Movement (MOBRAL) created during the military regime (1964-1985) by the Brazilian law 5,379 of 12/15/1967, was one of the most extensive and complex adult education program developed in the country. For this study, it was made an elaborated analysis of the political and pedagogical principles, methodologies and ideals that led the main programs of MOBRAL. The emphasis was on functional literacy, by means of bibliographical and documentary research of sources such as the documentation and educational legislation of the period (1967-1985); statutes and basic institutional documents; academic researches; publications of the Ministry of Education and the teaching materials to support MOBRAL. We highlight the work of Arlindo Lopes Corrêa as the founder, manager and representative of MOBRAL, an intellectual who sought to mediate the political and ideological unity of the Movement and legitimize his work before public opinion.

Keywords : MOBRAL; Functional literacy; Political and pedagogical principles.
