From Paulo Freire s theory s point of view, my study brings a reflection among two educational objectives pointed by the Brazilian Constitutional in the article 205: the personal human development and the preparation for the citizenship performance. To do so, the starting point is the understanding of the perspective Freire presents about human beings: beings that read the world and learn from the reading; dream about new worlds; talk to other human beings about those readings and dreams; and, finally, act collectively to transform the world. People continuously develop themselves and live their citizenship in their dreams, reading, mutual affectations and collective actions. However, there is an inequality in the enjoyment of this human ideal, because of what Freire diagnoses as relations of oppression and colonization between human beings, especially regarding the Brazil s historic e social structures. In this context, the education is not able to change completely this unequal picture, but, in liberating perspective, the education can offer cognitive instruments to improve the readings people do about the world in a way to enable a critic understanding of the world. Therefore, the personal development happens in the contact one has with new ways to read the world and the preparations for the citizenship performance happens in the capacitation provided to act collectively from those critic point of views.
