We conclude, in the last years, that, particularly after the 1988 Federal Constitution, there is a reconfiguration of Brazilian federalism with the insertion of the municipality as a federated entity and autonomy to think out their education systems. The standards and implemented programs approved seek to consolidate the regime of collaboration among federal agencies for the field of education. However, the Brazilian federalism, over the years, has not fulfilled, satisfactorily, its redistributive and supplementary function, so we observed conditions that differentiated offers at all educational levels.porAcesso AbertoFederalismoEducaçãoProgramasFederalismo no BrasilFederalismEducationProgramsBrazilian FederalismarticleEducação
