There is a big consensus among the fact that education is the main public policy on youth, and also, there is an almost unanimous agreement on the fact that education is a basic tool in the construction of citizenship, in order to promote the social integration, the development of highly productive human resources and, for the cultural creation at all levels.
On the bond between education and youth, there are at least two relevant dimensions to consider:
- The access, permanency and the young men performance on the educative systems (formal and informal ones) as a main component of the acces to services and the consequent exercise of rights.
- The dynamic relation between juvenile culture and scholar culture on educative estabilshments, as a main dimension on the identity construction and property sense, as well as consolidation of intergenerational dialogues.
In both dimensions it’s important to systematize and divulge news, knowledge and promotional practices, and on this matter, this section of the Portal intends to give some orientations to search the web with more judgment elements. The different specific sections give the corresponding help.

The objective of the school-to-work research agenda is to document this gap and to propose a set of policy recommendations aiming at bridging that gap.
