Abstract
This article presents a contextualization of the education policy in higher education and brings reflections on the insertion of social work in this policy, as a space for professional action. For the development of the study, bibliographic research was used in materials that discuss the theme, and discussions held in the Special Topic Educational Policies and Social Struggles in Brazil: the meaning of human emancipation, attended in the Graduate Program, Master's level PPGSS, Unioeste campus de Toledo. We observe that the studies have as reference the educational process within the contradictory logic of capitalism, more specifically higher education, and its expansion and access is a consensus between the requisition of the current mode of production and also the result of clashes and political struggles for the right to education.
