A profile of the rural education, with the identification of problems of equity, quality and efficiency of education levels of schools in rural communities, from the perspective of autonomy for the release is the goal of this research. For this purpose, the critical analysis of the effects of public policies on the different dimensions of rural education and its effects on educational practice and management of rural school units was used as methodology, specifically the Rural Municipal School São Sebastião in Santa Fe do Araguaia, Rural Municipal School Osvaldo Freitas in Pau D'arco and Rural Municipal School Cândido Barreiras Guimarães in the district Garimpinho (Araguaína). Literature readings, document analysis and questionnaire, with characteristics of study-action, permeated with case study, based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out. We used descriptive statistics and content analysis to analyze the results. With the results found in the survey, it was found that the fragility persists in serving the education of this universe, though much has already been done to that occurring recognition of individuals living in rural Brazil. It is noticed that there is a lack of effective public policies for the field, which contributes to the demotivation of professionals working with education and, consequently, the rural exodus
