Acesso e permanência de estudantes cotistas do curso de Serviço Social da UFT: capitalismo dependente, racismo estrutural e política de cotas

Abstract

The present Work of Completion of the Course (TCC) of Social Work entitled "Access and permanence of quota students of the Social Work course at UFT: dependent capitalism, structural racism and quota policy" aimed to research the access and permanence of black students / the quota students of the Social Service course at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), Miracema do Tocantins campus. This is an exploratory study with an emphasis on quantitative analysis of the number of accesses and evasions of black quota students. In this way, it was necessary to deepen the theoretical knowledge about structural racism as a central element in the formation of Brazilian dependent capitalism, the policy of affirmative action and the policy of quotas. As methodological procedures, we used the bibliographic study on the ethnic-racial issue and a survey was carried out on the entrances, evasions and permanence of black quota students. we identified a high percentage of dropout of black students/quota students from the social service course and that racial quotas need to be accompanied by a set of social policies for the permanence of these students in higher education, since access alone does not guarantee the achievement of graduation
