The PhD research entitled "The concept of Social Protection in Education in the light of the 1988 FC" sought to understand the concept of protection in view of the fact that it was inaugurated with social security and labour studies. The manifesto of the pioneers of 1937 provided for the implementation of full-time schools. The More Education Programme 2007/2010 emerges as a compensatory and full-time policy seeking to protect those less favoured who did not have the possibility, in schools, to have extra-class activities. The PME provided children and young people in situations of risk and vulnerability with an approximation to the educational models offered to children and young people from favoured families. According to the constitutional and legal provisions, we seek to understand the PME policy in order to verify the promotion of human development, its preparation for citizenship and its qualification for work. It is not enough just to insert children and young people in schools as the Brazilian magistrates understand, but also to verify what kind of school, of knowledge so that the constitutional dictates in the protection and emancipation of the subject are confirmed.
