Abstract
On the threshold of the 21st century, some international organizations, such as the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, have launched a series of initiatives to participate in the formulation of educational models that reiterate singular notions of social justice and school inclusion. Such inclusion is intended to be achieved through the democratization of a knowledge that enables the various social segments to participate satisfactorily in the social, political and economic world. Under specific social circumstances - such as difficulty in reducing social, ethnic and racial inequalities, decrease of jobs and employment expectations by entire social groups, mistrust on the school’s effectiveness to generate both professionally and politically empowered individuals -, the formulators of these documents search ways to participate in the political and academic debate about social justice, school justice and fair school.
