Abstract
The text problematizes the identity government strategies operated in Education, in the Contemporaneity. In the intersection between Michel Foucault’s studies and theorizations that are based on contemporary social thought, it articulates governance as a tool for the analytical exercise produced on six publications of the Ministry of Education, which make up the Education for All collection. It shows two identity governance strategies, outlined in educational policies: the tolerance production and the stigma inversion, which take on the purpose, the fading of discrimination practices. Finally, it concludes that the partial stigma inversion precludes the incorporation of tolerance in the relationships between individuals, making that these strategies do not produce the expected effects.
