This article aims to understand and analyze Brazilian basic education and public policies aimed at ensuring
an education for all and quality, having as a milestone the Federal Constitution of 1988, and the LDB - Law
9.394/1996 The LDB, in its Article 2, ensures that education, the duty of the family and the state, aims at the
full development of the student, its preparation for the exercise of citizenship and qualifi cation for work and
Article 32, item I, mentions elementary school, aiming at the development of capacity, with full mastery of
reading, writing and calculation that public educational policies are everything that a government does or stops
doing in education. However, education is a very broad concept to deal with educational policies. Thus, this
article aims to bring the historical context of education in Brazil, as well as to understand how public policies
collaborate for quality education and why they are necessary. From the above in this research, I can conclude
that we have not yet reached the level of education expected, and there is much to be done, however, the State
has helped through the implementation of educational policies in an aid to realize this ‘education to all’ exposed
in the Federal Constitution.
