For this, we established a dialogue between authors who discuss the theme and the primary sources for understanding the comprehensive education policy, such as the Interministerial Ordinance No. 017/2007, the trilogy of books series More Education (2009) and Operating manual Integral Education (2014). For the analysis of the More Education Program in Cascavel data were collected on the participating schools and the number of students served by the program, with the Rattlesnake Education Regional Center and the State Department of Education of Paraná. The data obtained in the research allow us to understand the public policy of comprehensive education, materialized through the More Education Program, has as principle the extension of the student residence time in the school, from the reinvention of time and school space, preferably in down schools IDEB and located in poor neighborhoods and suburbs, preferably serving students in vulnerable social situation. Research shows that, by taking the integral education, by joining the program, the school takes in addition to educating function, also the social responsibility of caring for children, adolescents and youth. The results show that the proposed comprehensive education and full-time aim to mitigate social conflicts and not to improve the quality of education.
