Resumen:
The present monography has the general objective of analyzing whether homeschooling in
Brazil is in accordance with constitutional norms, considering the objectives of the
fundamental right to education, as well as its regulation to be inserted in the legal system.
With regard to specific objectives, the monograph proposes to carry out a historical survey of
the constitutional right to education; analyze homeschooling, its historical context, concepts
and classifications to understand what it represents; as well as evaluating homeschooling in
the light of the Brazilian Legal System, establishing a connection with comparative law. In
order to achieve these objectives, the methodology is used by the deductive method, going
through the technique of bibliographical and documental research, characterized in terms of
the general objective as descriptive and exploratory, with a qualitative approach, and through
the procedures: historical, comparative and analytical- descriptive. It was considered that the
primary objective of the right to education, recognized by the Federal Constitution and other
Brazilian legislation as a social right, is to guarantee the full development of the student, his
preparation for the exercise of citizenship and his preparation for the job market.
Homeschooling is understood as the exercise of the right of freedom of parents to decide the
type of education of their children. On the other hand, arguments against the homeschooling
option include the harmful effects of lack of socialization in this teaching modality, reclusion
in childhood and adolescence, omission of violence and increase in inequalities and
intolerance of different beliefs and opinions. With the exception of Ecuador, all South
American countries do not allow homeschooling because the adoption of different modalities
of education that go against the objectives outlined in their respective Constitutions would
amplify existing social problems. According to the Brazilian legal system and the implications
highlighted in this research regarding homeschooling, it is important to highlight some
potential difficulties if homeschooling is regularized in Brazil. Such a discussion raises
concerns not only about the content to be delivered, but also about who is intended to benefit
from it. A crucial obstacle to its regulation is the recognition that the option of practicing
homeschooling is not available to everyone, being limited to a certain portion of the
population that has the financial conditions and time to do so, revealing its exceptional
character, representing one more factor of exclusion and social jettisoning.
