Its target public is students, Elementary and Higher Education teachers, Education researchers, and others interested in the discussions and dissemination of scientific production on themes of the Education area within the national and international contexts.

HISTORY

The Educação em Foco journal was created in 1995 by the Faculty of Education of the State University of Minas Gerais (FaE/UEMG) as an annual scientific journal, edited with the support of the Communication Center (CenC) of FaE/UEMG. From 2008 to 2015, the publications became biannual.

In 2011, the journal became the responsibility of the Graduate Program in Education and Human Formation (PPGE) of FaE/UEMG, continuing with the support of the CenC for its edition.

In 2016, due to the large number of article submissions by Brazilian researchers from different regions of the country and a certain number of foreign authors, it started to be a four-monthly publication.

From v. 19 no. 29 (2016) onwards, it became an electronic publication, thus becoming e-ISSN 2317-0093.
