This paper evaluates the various social protection programmes and their role in the improvement of Brazilian Basic Education from 1990 to 2016. Brazil is one of the richest countries of the world, yet the country is suffering from the highest rate of inequality and high rate of poverty in the society. The poverty of families has critical impact on health and education of their children. With the dual objective of poverty reduction and for the improvement in basic services, such as health and education in the country, the government has introduced many inclusive and redistributive social protection programmes after the implementation of new constitution in 1988. These social protections programmes of Brazil have been praised internationally for their scope and innovation such as the dramatic reduction in the poverty and inequality in the Brazilian society. Besides these benefits, these programmes have proved to improve the access of Basic Education in the country. This paper reviews these social protection programmes with the help of relevant documents and from the results, it can be concluded that these programmes have proved quite beneficial in educational expansion in Brazil. And so, the experiences of Brazilian Social Protection Programmes are quite instructive in many ways for the developing countries, such as India, which are struggling with the problem of education of children from the disadvantaged sections of the society.

Democratic regimes establish themselves to the extent to which they are accepted by the majority of the population living under them. This acceptance is translated into a knowledge of and trust in their respective political and legal institutions. Quality education is relevant to democratic governance and citizenship building, as it provides access to the cognitive tools needed for significant political participation. This paper analyzes the interactions between democracy and quality education in the light of judicial proceedings being applied to the right to education, focusing on Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) activities in the period between 2000 and 2010.

Distance education, mediated by Information and Communication Technologies, is increasingly present in the Brazilian educational scenario due to legislation incentives. In this modality, assessment to ensure effective learning, considering the particularities of distance education, represents a challenge to education managers. This research investigates the competences developed in two entirely distance-lectured courses in the Information Management degree of the Federal University of Paraná. For this purpose, the bibliographic and documental methodology was used to construct two assessment rubrics in the CoRubric platform, a data collection instrument for the research. Data are analyzed using statistical techniques. The results show the competences developed by students and those that need improvement, as well as the correlation between the characteristics of the courses and the learning and how much they affect the result. It concludes that the assessment rubrics constructed from CoRubric are capable of generating information for decision making in education. ; Distance education, mediated by Information and Communication Technologies, is increasingly present in the Brazilian educational scenario due to legislation incentives. In this modality, assessment to ensure effective learning, taking into account the particularities of distance education, represents a challenge to education managers. The present research investigates the competences developed in two courses entirely lectured at distance in the Information Management degree of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). For this purpose, bibliographic and documental methodology was used in order to construct two assessment rubrics in the platform Corubric, which may also be used as an instrument for research data collection. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics techniques, non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Pearson's correlation and multiple regression tests. The competences that were developed by the students and those that need improvement were discussed, as well as the topics that were more related to learning and how much they affected the results. It was concluded that the rubrics built from Corubric are instruments capable of generating information that may assist decision-making in the education field.

AbstractExplanations of the Abolitionist movement's success in Brazil (1888) have, since the 1960s and 1970s, emphasised the movement's material context, its class nature, and the agency of the captives. These analyses have misunderstood and gradually ignored the movement's formal political history. Even the central role of urban political mobilisation is generally neglected; when it is addressed, it is crippled by lack of informed analysis of its articulation with formal politics and political history. It is time to recover the relationship between Afro-Brazilian agency and the politics of the elite. In this article this is illustrated by analysing two conjunctures critical to the Abolitionist movement: the rise and fall of the reformist Dantas cabinet in 1884–85, and the relationship between the reactionary Cotegipe cabinet (1885–88), the radicalisation of the movement, and the desperate reformism that led to the Golden Law of 13 May 1888.
