Abstract

This paper analyses the aims of school education. The electoral debates exposed, in the tensions of rhetoric, a discrepant set of opinions about the purposes and responsibilities of school education. The speeches of candidates, educators and researchers and the participation of different social groups in discussions about education brought to the public space the importance of school education for the building of the political project of the Brazilian State. This research synthetizes these manifestations and makes a bibliographical analysis of the purposes of education to explain what are in-depth the fundamental aims of Basic Education of the national education systems. The article analyzes the three prospective goals of education defined in the Brazilian Constitution: the full development of the person, the preparation for the exercise of citizenship and the qualification for work. These are permanent and always current issues in national education systems, historically essential to be persecuted to build a democratic State and society that guarantees universal Basic Education for all Brazilians.
