This research aims to analyze the influence of Instituto Federal de Pernambuco’s Professional Education policy in reducing social and educational inequality, specifically in the Labor Security technical qualification. Therefore, it is meant to contribute with the theoretical debate developed in the area of Education Managing and Evaluation by embodying theoretical elements from Professional Education from the organization that is born inside State apparatus. The theoretical landscape constitutes itself from reflexion about work, inequality and state’s role to its reduction through offering Professional Education. The methodology that orients the study aims to understand those categories and concepts in the reality of Zona da Mata as context on which people, knowledge and classes are structured, articulated to the dialect method. In that sense, it is suggested the Inventory and Participant Observation, such as Thiollent says (to verify contexts and come up with an answer to the problem put: how Professional Education policy affects inequality reduction, from 2013 to 2018?). Supporting onto authors respect for the use of this method such as Demo (1994), Frigotto (2012), Leite (2017), Manfredi (2002), Saviani (2013), Poulantzas (1981), Gramsci (1986) and Hermida e Lira (2018) we look foward to understanding social relations, underlining state’s role in constituing a class and lowering social and education inequality. Such as by creating school and employment, and also by intervening to recovering a condition of class, widening the local productive arrangements. To answer the proposed problem (how Professional Education Policy from IFPE Ipojuca campus, offering spots at the Labor Security technical qualification between 2013 and 2018 influenced in reducing class inequality? An answer was found using the aforementioned method, so we got closer to a historical period that has allowed us to realize that, as state operates Professional Education Policy, it reaffirms the class situation, characteristic of capitalist societies, but it reduces inequalities putting the School and its intelectuals on knowledge promotion that makes wage work more qualified because there are rules that start with the profession and the visible importance of the State’s role in reproducing Society in modern bases and also the modern idea of the education’s role in the political emancipation of the citizen.
