Acesso e permanência de sujeitos do campo a escola básica em uma comunidade rural de São Miguel das Matas – Bahia

Abstract

The work addressed the issue of access and permanence of rural subjects to basic school. These were reflections of a course conclusion work (TCC) that aimed to investigate the conditions of access and permanence of rural subjects to basic school in the community of Sucupira, municipality of São Miguel das Matas - Bahia. The TCC is the result of studies and research in the Degree Course in Rural Education with an emphasis on Agrarian Sciences at the Teacher Training Center of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (CFP/UFRB), Amargosa campus. The methodological principles evidenced the qualitative approach, carried out through field research with semi-structured interview instruments, and interpretation based on content analysis. Among the results, we highlight the need to reflect on the objective conditions as a historical challenge for access and permanence of students from lower classes and from the countryside; as well as the debate on the urban and rural relationship in the curricula to strengthen the belonging and permanence of rural students in school. In the research in question, the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, interpersonal relationships at school and the importance of fighting for public policies that can contribute to the access and permanence of students were unfolded in the interviews.
