To make this possible, Brazilian legislation sought to introduce transformation mechanisms, reflecting the country’s social, political, and economic contexts, even during constant criticism of the educational system. Since then, the main educational reforms in Brazil focused on expanding public schooling so that everyone had access to a minimum of schooling, especially in primary education. High school, on the other hand, had the most significant recent changes, with the implementation of the “New High School” in 2022. This change aimed to ensure the provision of quality education to all young people and bring schools closer to the reality of students, considering the new demands of the job market and life in society. Within this perspective, this chapter analyzes how the university can play a key role in democratic and citizenship development within basic education. Mackenzie Presbyterian University has been developing an “Education for Justice” clinic to make children and teenagers in the school environment more aware of their rights. In this clinic, law students teach children and teenagers law, exchange experiences, and demystify the legal system. Students become aware of their rights and responsibilities, while engaging in critical thinking and problem-solving skills. | |
