EDUCAÇÃO DO CAMPO: TRAJETÓRIA DE CONQUISTAS E DESAFIOS A SEREM SUPERADOS NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE PELOS ALUNOS DE 4 A 17 ANOS

Abstract

Education is a right for everyone, regardless of where they live (countryside or city). Therefore, the present article is a bibliographic survey of a basic nature, which aimed to understand the achievements and challenges to be overcome in contemporary times by students aged 4 to 17 who live in the countryside to have access to quality education and remain in the school. To this end, legal provisions were used, such as the Federal Constitution of 1988, Law on National Education Guidelines and Bases (LDB, Law n. 9.394/96), Decree n. 7.352/2010; and authors such as Arroyo (1999); Fonseca; Paz (2012), Molina (2016), and others. Based on the data obtained, it was possible to verify that, despite legislation and education documents stating that rural students must be served in the space where they live, the reality is quite contradictory, since what is seen are numerous rural schools failing to function, leaving the students unattended, and in order not to stop studying, they face numerous challenges when attending schools in the urban area, such as having a teaching outside the reality of the countryside; spend several hours inside the transport vehicle; in addition to being subjected to risky and uncomfortable situations, as many vehicles are scrapped and do not have the basics, such as seat belts, seat upholstery, air conditioning, and others; not to mention that the roads are not paved most of the time, having to face dust in the dry season and quagmire in the rainy season, etc., which are factors that significantly influence the school performance of students, and can even lead to dropout. In the final considerations, the need for new public policies aimed at Rural Education is highlighted, as well as the implementation of existing ones, in order to implement the right to study with dignity.
