The objective of this paper is to promote a reflection on the relations established between education and development, primarily from the 1990s of the last century. The reason for this is due to the inadequacy of more or less direct character assigned to that relationship, making assume that the field of education has the ability to influence the economic and social development with the emphasis assigned to it by the media and even some official speeches. The concern with this issue is even more accentuated in recent years by both the role assigned to the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology in this process, as the finding of a growing process of shifting public resources to private agencies working in the educational field and also by the investee which had been observed, both in public and in private, to promote changes within the Secondary and Vocational Education in order to improper relationships mentioned above.
