Abstract
Lean Education is an appliance of the philosophic approach (also Lean Thinking) in educational contexts intending to increase student performance and save costs by increasing the value and performance of school organizational processes. The main goal of this study is to present a model to trigger the discussion about Lean Education under a pedagogical and managerial point of view, not only within the Brazilian network of Institutes of Applied Science, but also in other similar public educational systems. The study also presents a review of Lean and Lean Education concepts, as well as an overview of pedagogical models used at the Brazilian Institutes of Applied Science.
