We have as a general aim identifying the efficiency of Bolsa Família program for the educational growth of the students from public schools in Constantina-RS. With education of quality and citizens with dignity guaranteed by their own actions, we try to fulfill the aims of this work: drawing a map of the families benefited with Bolsa Família program at the fundamental schools in the town of Constantina; making the difference between social and school functions in the students’ life through questionnaires answered by them, establishing relations with the new federal public policies of incentive to education (Bolsa Família); compare the information gathered in the questionnaire about the receiving of the benefit and the use of it by the families. In order to answer the proposed aims, one opted for the qualitative perspective and the research was the Case study kind. In the comparison of data, one tries to explain why the schools are having this identity crisis absorbing functions that would be family’s, having so, social and scientific relevance, once it involves the aspects of public policies of incentive to education and the Educational management. The families hope that the school has a complete education and the school hopes the family has an engagement in the student’s educational journey. Both look for an education of quality and citizens with dignity guaranteed by their own actions, into the conception of society one wants to be, taking part of an education that needs urgent changes and skilled managers to deal with such situations.
