Abstract
The objective of this work is to analyze how the Bolsa Família Program (PFB), through conditionality in education, can be an important element in the intergenerational break of educational exclusion and poverty, conditionality plays a strategic role for the development of citizenship in the parents. As a prerequisite for other rights, education is considered to be a genuine right of Citizenship. However, the history of education in Brazil is marked by elitism and exclusion. The Brazilian State will only recognize education as a right of all in the 1934 constitution. However, only after the 1988 constitution did the country achieve significant advances in the area. Educational and social assistance policies are fundamental to this progress, especially in ensuring the inclusion of the poorest. Thus, the PBF, through conditionalities, constitutes a relevant strategy for breaking the intergenerational transmission of poverty and reducing inequality in Brazil.
