A EDUCAÇÃO QUE TEMOS E A QUE A SOCIEDADE PRECISA

Abstract

This work was developed with the intention of presenting both sides of Brazilian education, where one advances and the other skates. Its main objective is none other than to make explicit the existing discrepancy between the education we have and the one that society really needs for the legal exercise of its citizenship. It is notorious that public educational policies have advanced, quantitatively, as well as their failure in terms of quality. Brazilian society cannot agree with an education that produces functional illiterates since the country has more than eleven million individuals, over fifteen years old, who are unable to develop the necessary skills provided for in educational laws. Society calls for an education that provides light of knowledge and produces thinking, critical and capable of contributing to the development of their homeland. Disobedience to educational regulations has generated unsatisfactory results and increased concern for the pursuit of educational quality. We used a bibliographic research with a qualitative approach and based on some theorists and some official sources.
