The paper assumes that, throughout education’s history, the fundamental right to it is present in the Brazilian constitutions and that, from these rules, the conception and effectiveness of such right sometimes innovate, sometimes retroact. Public school’s quality is the challenge of the Brazilian educational system. The presence of social organizations – NGOs, various institutes in the public schooling system – suggests the public school’s inability to, on its own, provide quality education for the citizensAcesso AbertoDireito à educaçãoPolíticas educacionaisOrganizações sociaisRight to EducationEducational policiesSocial organizationsSEMOC - Semana de Mobilização CientíficaArtigo de EventoSociais e HumanidadesMultidisciplinar
