- Abstract
This paper discusses the tensions and contradictions of public policy for the production of teaching materials for the Education of Youth and Adults in the recent history of education in Brazil. The study focuses on the period comprising the governments of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The analysis shows that the didactic materials are subject to different guidelines of the educational policies of the Union to tackle illiteracy and low educational levels of the population, which now emphasize ways to accelerate the education of the population, sometimes stimulate the activities of social movements and their practices in popular education. We conclude that, currently, Brazil is facing the paradox of universal access to textbooks of students in Adult Education and at the same time, running the risk of promoting the standardization and concentration of this production, which should meet the diversity sociocultural characteristics of this audience, different experiences inhibiting the production of teaching materials held across the country.
