Thus, through the correctional measures, it seeks to prepare them for life in society in order to avoid recurrence in illicit practices. Among the modalities of correctional measures that can be applied to transgressor adolescents is the admission to an educational establishment. These units must offer conditions for the realization of the fundamental rights and guarantees provided for in the Brazilian Constitution and others laws applied to children and adolescents. Among these rights, we detect the right to education, the main element capable of realizing the primary purpose of the correctional measures, namely, the social inclusion of the transgressor adolescent.
