Abstract

The article discusses the place of immigrants in Brazilian education policies. It seeks to understand, based on legislation that guides migration policy and education, how immigrants' rights are (or are not) respected. To do so, it uses the literature review on the subject, based on research conducted with groups of foreign students, sought to know to what extent the right to education of this public has been effective. The article is structured in three parts. In the first one, it was tried to understand the Brazilian migratory policy and its more recent development; in the second, we sought to discuss the educational policy of the last two decades that, focusing on diversity, should specifically address the foreign student; and finally, the third part, which presents some contributions as a conclusion, in which it is found that the foreign student or the immigrant has been a subject absent in the education policies in the country.
