This dissertation, defended in the research program State, Policies and History of Education of the Postgraduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Goiás, aimed to investigate a public policy as an expression of the dispute of corporate projects, of concepts, of tensions between the correlation of asymmetric forces in the Brazilian capitalist society. The research question of this study led to identify how to institute a public policy capable of ensuring education as a fundamental right for young and adult workers. The object of study was the National Program for Integration of Vocational/Professional Education with Basic Education in the Modality of Youth and Adult Education (Proeja). The research sites (locus) were five Federal Institutes (FIs), covering the period from the year 2005 until the year 2010. Interviewees were federal professionals, managers and teachers who initiated and spread Proeja in the national system, through the Setec/MEC, and in the Federal Institutes that take part of the Federal System of Vocational/Professional, Scientific and Technological Education. The research was based on concepts which aimed to understand the conceptions in dispute of State, public policy and professional/vocational education consolidated in Brazilian reality, as well as understand the responsibility for public actions of deployment, implementation and materialization of social policies in Brazil. Data show that the State was present at the encouragement of Proeja to provide education to the Brazilian workers. To achieve this, the State offered specific funding and training for teachers, managers and technical-administrative staff. An appropriate legislation has been created to induce this policy, however, main results indicate the non-materialization of Proeja as a State public policy since there is a difference between stated intent and the materialization of Proeja. Results also indicate that there is a limited understanding with regard to guaranteeing the right to education for youth and adult workers, confusion about the specificities of these two groups, limits in the execution of teacher training and lack of teachers to work in the program. Although there is a counter-hegemonic movement in the Federal Institutes to defend the deployment of Proeja, what is happening is the liberal conception of equal rights, excluding, therefore, different and “less capable” people.
