Educação & Sociedade, Campinas, v. 31, n. 112, p. 677-705, jul./set. 2010.0101-73301678- 4626http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/12953This paper assesses the current National Plan for Education ( NPE ), the political logic of its progress and its approval by the National Congress. It emphasizes the conceptions of edu- cation and of State in dispute, its structural and short-term lim- its as a public policy, as well as the outlines referring to basic and higher education. It also presents reflections and indications on this theme and highlights the historical need for the proposition and collective construction of the new 2011-2020 NPE , so that it constitutes an effective state policy for education.porAcesso AbertoPlano Nacional de EducaçãoEducaçãoPolíticas educacionaisAvaliaçãoGestãoNational Plan for EducationEvaluationManagementEducation policyEducationArtigo10.1590/S0101-73302010000300003
