Políticas Educacionais: legislação e desafios contemporâneos

Abstract

The book Educational Policies: Legislation and Contemporary Challenges, organized by Andreliza Cristina de Souza and published in 2024, brings together thirteen chapters devoted to the contemporary discussion of educational policies in Brazil, covering education from basic education through higher education. It is a collection situated within the field of educational policy studies, as it mobilizes theoretical frameworks that underpin the historical and legal analysis of the processes that structure Brazilian education. By problematizing legislation and reforms, the work highlights the disputes, tensions, and social constraints that permeate the formulation and implementation of educational policies. The volume constitutes a consistent reference for researchers, teachers, and other professionals interested in the topic, as it brings together contributions that support an in-depth understanding of the country’s educational trajectory. Written in clear and accessible language, the book invites theoretical engagement in the field of educational policies and presents itself as a fundamental instrument for the education of subjects capable of critically reflecting on the organization of the educational system and the contemporary challenges of education.
