For so much, we do an analysis of presuppositions and of legitimatory references of the conception of hegemonic education in the current context, confronting them with some principles and with some educative postures developed in the SPM. New subjective references, explicitation of obscures power structures of and the preparation of new horizons of sense and of future are some of the elements that can be found and increased in these relation and that are essential for the democratic strengthening of the society.
