• TITLE: An Overview of the Homeschooling in Brazil: Analysis of Its Principles and Attempts of Legalization

  AUTHORS: Luciane Muniz Ribeiro Barbosa

  KEYWORDS: Homeschooling, Right to Education, Concerted Cultivation

  ABSTRACT: Homeschooling is a kind of education that is growing. The goal of this study is to review issues used against attempts to legalize homeschooling in Brazil, which have brought up questions about what the right to education is. It presents some themes and concepts of the New Institutionalism Theory in Education as an attempt to relate them to the debate that goes around the growth of the homeschooling movement in different places as well as a context connected to the “concerted cultivation” concept. Thus, this paper suggests that emergence of homeschooling in Brazil is not associated to the school choice movement, but to the growth of concerted cultivation and represents for the country a movement with strong political implications.
