Educação do campo e o fechamento das escolas do campo no município de Barão de Cotegipe/RS

Abstract

The present work aims to identify the implications that result in the closure of Campo Schools in the municipality of Barão de Cotegipe / RS. For that, a documentary analysis was carried out, as well as a field research on the closure of the Campo do Município Schools. The problem to be faced is to identify the political and educational implications that result in the closure of Field Schools in the municipality. Arroyo (2005); Caldart (2005) and Molina (2005) defend the right of rural people to think about the world from where they live, from the land on which they tread, by constructing subjects of history and rights; collective subjects in their formation. Social, cultural, ethical and political subjects of struggle for their rights, historically withdrawn. The methodology is qualitative based on semi-structured interviews and analysis of documents referring to the closure of rural schools in the Municipality. In order to take account of this problem, we will first present the education of the field and its historical and normative frameworks in Brazil, entering a second moment in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, analyzing the closure of the state schools in the field and to finalize a an analytical and documentary approach on the closure of rural schools in the municipality of Barão de Cotegipe, the focus of this research. We show that the closure of rural schools causes an impoverishment of rural communities, since school is one of the great references for the community and its subjects. Close school and disorganize the community and its subjects.
