GUZZO, Raquel Souza Lobo  e  EUZEBIOS FILHO, Antonio. Social inequality and brazilian educational system: the urgency of the emancipatory education. Escritos educ. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.2, pp. 39-48. ISSN 1677-9843.

The insertion into two public schools from Campinas (SP) allowed the elaboration of some questions related to Education and social inequality. The first part of this article discusses the social dynamic and its relation to the current educational system. The Education system has served to maintain the capitalist society and the social inequality. One of the conditions to change this situation is that teachers assume one practical non dominant pedagogic (political) teaching approach. The second part highlights some teaching challenges, in search of the elaboration of coherent strategies within an Emancipatory Education proposal, which aims to develop the population's autonomy and their critical awareness.
