Escola Municipal Juvência Urcino de Santana em Taguatinga (TO): Educação do Campo ou Educação Rural?

Abstract

This work is based on the assumption of the need for a specific education for the population that lives and works in the countryside, based on the proposal “For an education in the countryside”, formulated by theor Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST). For the data, documents of national education were analyzed, the PPP of the Municipal School Juvência Urcino de Santana, documents directly and indirectly related to education in the countryside and others elaborated in defense of a differentiated education for this population. The aim was to reflect on the pertinence of the proposal for rural education, as well as to observe the reality of rural schools during the pandemic. In this sense, it was identified, based on the bibliography, how much it is still pertinent to think about the need for an education in or from the countryside, since the educational indexes point to a very high educational gap for the population residing in rural areas, having urban as a parameter. The research pointed out that the national documents make it possible for education for specific groups to take into account their cultural, political and regional specificities, providing in the PPP of the educational units actions that materialize them, even in emergency conditions. We conclude that, as much as it is necessary to think about a proposal for education in the countryside, the ideal, in the long term, is to think about an education that is of quality for all, including the rural portion.
