ABSTRACT
The article deals with graduate studies as a teacher training policy for primary education. The objective is to evaluate the extent and orientation that such policies reach in the subnational educational plans. Data collection was predominantly carried out next to the education plans of 26 States and the Federal District. It can be observed that graduate studies for primary education teachers, although it can be understood as an advance for the Brazilian reality, holds a great diversity of treatment in each federation unit, and its effectiveness, as an institutional goal, will depend, in great measure, of the teacher's efforts.
