This article contextualizes public policies in the scope of Distance Education (DE), reflecting on its processes of privatization and precarious state. It presents a chronological framework with a regulatory mark for DE in Brazil covering the years between 1990 to 2018 and analyzing the documents critically. It concludes that international entities and meetings directly influence public policies in Brazil, contributing to the definition of the agenda of educational reforms for the peripheral world; that public educational policies have favored large companies, which have been making even more profit from the precariousness of the educational system; and that the most recent flexible policies have been favoring the growth of DE in Brazil, which may gain strength with the recently approved offer of secondary education through this modality, marking a neoconservative conjuncture and commercialization of education. Keywords: Distance education. Public policies. Historical-critical theory. Legislation.
