MOURAO, Paulo  and  SEIXAS MIRANDA, Pedro. PARA UMA DISCUSSÄO DAS POLÍTICAS EDUCATIVAS À LUZ DE RAWLS. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.60, pp.357-374. ISSN 0121-4772.

Abstract John Rawls is an author who deserves to be rediscovered in discussions of educational policy. Rawls provides tools to understand what is meant by a fair society. The article discusses the School (as an institution), arguing that it is far from representing such a society. Rawls' thought is useful as it provides a discussion that links individual and social welfare to inequality levels and institutional contexts. In recognition of this contribution, the authors, insert the richness of a Rawlsian approach into the well-known Bergson-Samuelson equation, in order to develop a practical tool for evaluating educational policies.

Keywords : Rawls; educational policy; Bergson-Samuelson equation.
