Public education in elementary schools in Brazil has suffered from the influence of private organizations, using maneuvers to directly interfere with Brazilian teaching and supported by laws that underpin these interventions, such organizations end up making a direct profit by selling teaching methods and teaching materials that are sold to the public school system, and use the means to disseminate their ideology. The evident influence of the hegemonic classes and the imposition of the new pedagogy of the hegemony as strategies to educate the great masses, becomes a priority. The purpose of the present study is to identify and understand the teaching and learning methods used by entrepreneurial education - young entrepreneurs/SEBRAE, in elementary schools in the city of Marília, and the way in which this method is used to induce children to think and act for the world of work.
