Documents that express such policies are analyzed, and its impacts for the graduation in Education, mainly considering teaching and student mobility. In this perspective, the difficulties observed are mainly due to the fact that the area of Education is not a priority to the current internationalization process, and can be seen by the little possibilities of foment, or the devaluation of the South-South internationalization, the kind of internationalization which is more expressive to the area.
