Education policies carried out by the Lula and Dilma Rousseff administrations were marked by tensions and contradictions with different conceptions of justice. Thus, the objective of the article is to analyze some of these policies, seeking to identify these contradictions. Based on a literature review and a documentary survey, a scenario of ambiguities was identified with actions that, while substantially promoting the right to education of historically marginalized sectors in society, developed mechanisms of meritocratic regulation based on large-scale evaluations that threatened the school trajectory of the most vulnerable. It is an effect of alliances formed by popular-democratic governments with different social groups, among them business ones, whose consequences were not restricted to the educational field. The results point to the need to reflect on these experiences to avoid certain paths that led to the weakening of the school context.
Keywords: Education policies. Popular-democratic governments. New public management.
