Abstract

SETUBAL, Maria Alice. Equidade e desempenho escolar: é possível alcançar uma educação de qualidade para todos?. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2010, vol.91, n.228, pp.345-366. ISSN 2176-6681.

Recent years have witnessed the enlargement of Brazilian society groups that participate in educational debate. One of the voices that have gained increasing strength was that of the economists, somehow led by theories of human capital. This article discusses a few key positions taken by this group of economists; particularly those presented in the book Educação básica no Brasil: construindo o país do futuro. The debate is structured according to three themes: the institutional mechanisms of management, the role of school and family, and education in a socially vulnerable context. Finally, the article tries to point out some requirements that have to be met if our educational system is to make improvements in quality with equity, particularly in highly socially vulnerable urban areas.

Keywords : Education; Public Policies; Quality And Equity; Human Capital.
