This paper results from the research of the (im)possibilities of the rural school regarding the promotion of the agricultural familiar succession in the City of Barra Bonita (SC/Brazil). The research sought to understand if the public policies related to rural education promote the permanence/succession of the young people in the country properties. It is a qualitative research of bibliographical character, assuming a dialectic and critical orientation. The paper is organized in two parts: the first one focuses on the conceptual notion of rural education, approaching the agricultural school and the public policies directed to this context. The second one reflects on the (im)possibilities of the rural school regarding its contributions to the familiar permanence/succession. It is anticipated that the public policies and the actions directed to the young people in the field are fragile when it comes to promoting the succession and the permanence of these young adults in the country properties from the city of Barra Bonita (SC). In addition, the paper highlights the necessity of creating public policies for young people that are coherent with the Brazilian diversity, in a way that they can provide incentive, human development and generation of income for the ones who want to live in the country.
