Abstract This paper presents a survey from several documents dealing with educational policy developed by the Ministry of Education (MEC) during the Lula government. The focus of research is the analysis of the "Education Development Plan" (EDP), more especially of two major programs that comprise the axis of Basic Education: the Index of Basic Education Development (IDEB) and PDE-School. I seek, this research is to identify which are the theoretical principles, methodological, political and pedagogical underpinning the educational policy of the Government. More specifically, try to find elements that link with the government policy and political thinking educator Paulo Freire's educational. To this end, I used documentary analysis, the literature search and interviews. About the theme, the MEC examined publications and authors who have written on the subject, scholarly articles, statements and texts published by various people connected to education in Brazil, and conducted interviews, using a structured questionnaire and open with the Ministry of Education representatives and professionals Basic Education schools in the city of Bage / RS. In this analysis, it was in possession of a "guidance document" consisting of a list of topics related to Freirean conceptions of "autonomy" and "democracy" and "ethics" whose conceptual foundations are the main theoretical works of Paulo Freire. The choice of primary focus for these three categories is due to the fact that, in reasoning in the chapter entitled "Autonomy, democracy and ethics: the synthesis of Paulo Freire," these are the main brands that embody the revolutionary political thought teaching of Paul Freire. At the conclusion of the study point out and justify my understanding that identify with the education policies of the Lula government in the EDP the influence of political and educational thought of Paulo Freire. I believe that these reflections from this study can serve all those who believe in education and school as important tools in the struggle for human emancipation and are seeking, referencing in revolutionary educators such as Paulo Freire, identify ways to make it to become effective.
