Abstract

This research, a case study, aims to analyze the conceptions of educators who teach in 2019 at Lasallian Educational Service Institutions for and with the poor, located in Brazil. It addresses the challenges, limits, and possibilities of offering quality education in contexts of social vulnerability, and how such conceptions relate to the Lasallian Educational Ideal and the legal provisions that deal with the right to education. The data, obtained through documentary analysis and the questionnaire, are analyzed based on the Content Technique. Among the main findings, the following stand out: a) Schools of Educational Service for and with the poor offer quality education through the strengthening of family and community relationships; the promotion of human and Christian education; the integration and sharing of experiences in the educational community; b) the management of economic and financial resources is a challenge for the maintenance of the schools; c) the need for ongoing training of educators to include reflections on the documents, considering that they confer an identity on Lasallian education; and d) the importance of the continuity of policies, programs and the proposal of specific strategies and actions, at the Province level, that reaffirm the centrality of the Educational Service to and with the poor. Therefore, the right to quality education, established in legal and national provisions and in the Lasallian ideal, is an indispensable right for the realization of the rights essential to human dignity.
