Abstract
We discuss the historical emergence of so-called universal rights, in the historical context from the Enlightenment to current global neoliberalism. One of these is the right to education. The aim is to clarify the scope of the universality of education, in particular that of access and academic success for immigrants in Portuguese schools. To this end, we investigate the approach of integrating students into these institutions. This serves as a basis for putting the teleological question of education into perspective, in terms of its formative, socialising and subjectivising functions. We gain an understanding of these reflections through interviews and content analysis, using a qualitative approach, with basic education students in the Portuguese system, after having studied the same in Brazil. This research project is justified by the plan to study for a PhD in Educational Sciences at the University of Minho in Braga.
