Resumo:Educational inequality reaches alarming levels in Brazil. In higher education, it is widely known that it is difficult for the most economically vulnerable portion of the population to be admitted in public educational institutions. This paper aims at demonstrating, through empirical research, that this inequality is also found in admission processes carried out by prominent public institutions of primary and secondary education. Our investigation focuses on admission examinations held by Colégio Pedro II in early 2007, and is also based on data from the Educational Census 2006 and results of the UFF entrance examination for the 2005 school year.
