SILVA, Roberto Rafael Dias da  and  SILVA, Rodrigo Manoel Dias da. Dilemmas of Brazilian schooling policies in the early 21st century: democratization, citizenship and social justice. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.2, pp.177-186. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v37i2.23292.

This analysis is foregrounded on schooling policies in Brazil, especially with regard to the investigation of some dilemmas conceived as a challenge to these policies. A theoretical study produced a diagnosis on the relationship between education, citizenship and social justice as factors that reorganize the agenda of educational policies at the beginning of the 21st century. A documentary study identifies and interprets three political dilemmas that make up Brazil's policies for expanding the school schedule, by establishing equity as a principle, protection as a goal and intersectionality as a policy.

Keywords : Educational Policies; Schooling; Social Justice; Citizenship.
