This text seeks to explain the conception of education and of society's project which is in the origin and development of the Polytechnic School of Health Joaquim Venancio, a theoretical task and a ethically based policy that imposes itself with the beginning of the Post-graduate program strictu sensu in Professional Education in Health. It is emphasized in this analysis that the historical time we live in is of regression in the social, political and educational fields and, therefore, the challenges of the master's program that is starting are more complex. It is intended to develop, based on theory, the understanding of the urgency to build educational processes that bring the new generations to understand capitalist's society's character which becomes more and more not viable and focused on competition, waste, consumption and violence, and, based on this understanding, to produce a collective understanding of the political imperative of a revolutionary approach to overcome the capitalist society.
