Enfrenta o banzeiro que hoje tem aula

Abstract

For millions of Brazilian students, school transport is not an option, but the only way to access school. In the reality of the rural context, school transport is configured as one of the most important and fundamental services for access to education. Given the above, this research aims to analyze the public policy of rural school transport in the Amazon and its impacts on the teaching and learning process of students in Complexo do Zé Açú, in the municipality of Parintins, with the following specific objectives as north: Understanding the historical process of rural education in Brazil and in the state of Amazonas; Analyze public education policies in relation to school transport; Know the context of school river transport in the municipality of Parintins; Characterize the social, economic and cultural aspects of the Zé-Açú complex; and Analyze the conditions of the school river transport that makes the journey of students to schools in the Zé-Açú complex, with a view to identifying its influences on the daily life, on the teaching process and on the students' learning. Therefore, an exploratory and descriptive study was developed, based on a literature review, document analysis and field research with the collection of semi-structured interviews with six teachers from the community of Bom Socorro do Zé Açú. The results of this study point to a gap between what the Federal Constitution provides and access to education in the reality of the rural context of Amazonas. Regarding the path of public policy on school transport, it is understood that there is a need to develop decentralized public policies, in the perspective of a construction directed to regional particularities, with recognition of the potential of states and municipalities. In addition, this study allowed us to understand that there is a tortuous path for the implementation of rural education policies in the community of Bom Socorro do Zé Açú, which reflects the reality of most communities in the Lower Amazon, where school transport does not supply the real needs of the students who need to “face the bazeiro” to get to school.
