摘要：With the understanding that social inequality and income concentration is increasing in Brazil and assuming even more perverse forms of social exclusion, the present article aims to reflect on the process of exclusion in society in general, and in education, in particular. In that sense, it tried to identify some interpretations given to the term exclusion, identifying it as a contradiction in the historical movement of the capitalist system. Moreover, it searched to verify how this contradiction implanted in modern times, manifests itself in the field of education, mainly at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century. As in the State global public policies, it identified the meaning underlying exclusion in educational policies, as a mediating instrument to maintain the social class structure of the capitalist society. In the search to identify public policies of basic education which aim at social inclusion, some programs appear to be created to care for the low class population, geared towards inserting and keeping this population in the educational system, with emphasis on the Federal Program "Bolsa-Escola" that characterizes itself as an action to guarantee minimum income.
