ABSTRACT
This essay presents the objectives of the Núcleo de Estudos em Psicanálise e Educação and Education, from the Education Sector of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), created in 2008. Emphases were given to some aspects of researches conducted in the Post Graduate Studies Program in Education, of the UFPR Education Sector, notably those related to the possible contributions of the psychoanalysis theoretical frame to the educational act, as well as, to the concept of subject. The results led to the notion that Psychoanalysis can contribute with Education, among other reasons, because teachers and educators once counting with key metapsychological concepts can allow themselves to build a new conception of education, producing consequent innovations in their educational act.
