The present research analyzed the quality of education discourse in the Brazilian Elementary Education curricular policies between 2003 and 2011 under the Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the beginning of Dilma Roussef s administrations, while trying to establish links between curriculum and quality. Therefore, the context of policy text production: Ministério da Educação (MEC) - is investigated by reading fifty-seven documents signed and/or ordered by the Secretaria de EducaçãoBásica (SEB), Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE) and Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais (INEP), which became the corpus of study for this research. The documents were entered and organized using the software WordSmith Tools (version 5), which allowed us to focus on signifiers identified as conductors of meanings of quality. This corpus of study was also analyzed with respect to the Partido dos Trabalhadores administration s programs announced during the electoral campaigns of 2002, 2006 and 2010, in order to better understand the political party context to which the curricular policies are connected. This research is based on the Theory of Discourse by Ernesto Laclau, linked to the curricular theories produced by Alice Lopes and Elizabeth Macedo and the policy cycle approach by Stephen Ball and collaborators. According to this theoretical background, the curricular policies are treated as a discursive cultural product in multiple contexts, defined by the social contingencies. The thesis presented is that the quality of education signifier for the curriculum is empty for the administrations of Lula/ Dilma; therefore it represents demands for both teaching as a way of equally sharing knowledge and promoting social justice, as well as demands for teaching to expected results measured by national evaluation systems that attest efficacy and represent the pretense total quality discourse, which views education as an investment that needs to provide returns. The quality signifier and its link with the demands for social justice allows for the equivalency between seemingly opposite demands, since the descriptor social originates the social quality discourse. The education social quality policy builds a discourse that promotes social justice via a communal curriculum and centralization of knowledge (verifiable), while at the same time utilizing the critical perspectives vocabulary and instrumental perspective actions, which reduce the curriculum to instructional dimensions. These are two competing chains of equivalences in the educational scene: the social quality chain, represented by the Lula/ Dilma administrations, which is justified by the demands for social justice and operates the re-signification of the curricular centralization and its evaluation styles and the pretense total quality chain, represented by the FHC administration, which conditions education to the market demands of productivity
