World Education Forum - III Edition
Porto Alegre, 28th- 31st July 2004

The third edition of the World Education Forum has the objective of working on directives, which promote political agreements, educational planning, programmes and projects at all educational levels against the educational neoliberal policies. It intends to affirm education as a public policy of quality, understood as a state duty and extended to all people.

The 29th a debate on "Vocational training and the illusion of employability" will take place. This debate intends to contribute to the comprehension of the complex relations and the existent contradictions on contemporary capitalism and the world of work. It also seeks to contribute to the creation of alternative proposals. The de-mystification of the discourse of the lack of qualifications as a direct cause of unemployment, the processes of solidarity based economies and the role of education on the emancipation of the working class will also be present on the debate.
