Abstract

Th is article explores a hypothesis of the impact of social issues on the reproduction of inequalities in educational opportunities in the context of Brazilian metropolises. Refl ections on the metropolitanization of social issues have been developed in terms of tendencies such as the weakening of labour market ties and the family and community as realms of non-commercial protection and reproduction, combined with processes of urban segmentation and segregation. Th ese tendencies have been observed in a more pronounced way in the larger urban agglomerations. In order to develop the analysis, national basic education evaluation (Prova Brasil) and School Census databases (2005) have been used, as well as data from the National Census - IBGE (2000). Based on the results, the article proposes possible explanations to the patterns found and seeks to contribute to the formulation of a research agenda on the Í€œmetropolitan-eff ectÍ€ on educational opportunities.
