This article aimed to understand the extent to which the school community at EMEF Beija Flor perceives the curriculum as a driver of social transformation. The methodological approach was qualitative, involving teachers, staff, parents/guardians, and 5th-grade Elementary School students who responded to a questionnaire. The research revealed different perceptions of the curriculum: the first includes those who were unsure of how to define it; the second sees it as the content students study and are assessed on; the third views the curriculum as guiding the direction of school education; and the fourth encompasses those who understand it as an agent of social transformation. Given these multiple interpretations, we argue that discussions on curriculum and Curricular Justice should be an integral part of both initial and continuing teacher education, as they are essential to the promotion of a critical public education aimed at social transformation.
