Abstract

In the late twentieth century the 'capitalism underwent social, political and economical changes and brought about a new accumulation model based on a flexible and productive structure of a less interventionist state in a society considered to be more globalized. The educational field in the context of changes has become a strategic locus of study due to the demand for discussions on brazilian educational policies in the 1990s. As for the conducting of those policies, some aspects like the economic and demographic contexts come up with suitable questions for the estimation of the reai concept of the educational policies. Thus, aiming to highlight the relation between the economic and demographic, scenarios in the building of educational policies in the 1990s, a study based on the main discussions about the topic was carried out by gathering opinions of several authors, as well as papers from the government and international organizations. A historical contextualization was done involving the happenings in the economic educational scenario pointed out in the first two chapters of this dissertation. It also comprised, in the third chapter, the aspect of the brazilian demographic dynamics by associating it with the economic politic context as well as with the expenses on education. According to the study, the strategic association of demographic dynamics, economy, and education does comprise the formulation of the brazilian education policies. Realizing that the intensifying of the policies towards the fundamental teaching has proved to be effective for low cost and at a short term in a context of economic changes, the state crisis and the measures to cut down on social expenses have turned out to be strategic to the current education policy.
