LEMOS, Valter. Public education policies: equity and educational success. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2013, n.73, pp.151-169. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2013732812.

The article analyzes the evolution of the concept of equity and its implications on the education public policies agenda. It analyzes also the relationship of equity in education with school results namely two indicators of school access and achievement. In this context we study the evolution of those in the Portuguese school system, over the past 50 years, and concluded by the progression of equity conditions, expressed in the continued improvement of the two indicators, albeit more consistent in school access than in school achievement.

Keywords : public policies; equity; educational achievement; school failure.
