Sujeitos do campo e o direito à educação: trajetórias, desafios e futuros (im)prováveis

Abstract

This monographic study titled "Subjects from Rural Areas and the Right to Education: Trajectories, Challenges, and (Im)probable Fruits" presents reflections on the right to education, considering the trajectories of students from rural areas. Based on this context, the following research problem was formulated: In what way do the life-formation trajectories of subjects from rural areas, coming from multi-grade classes, evidence challenges, (im)possibilities, and (im)probable futures? To address this question, the following research objectives were outlined: 1) Present historical aspects related to the right to education for subjects from rural areas in Brazil; 2) Map the life-formation trajectories of subjects from rural areas, coming from multi-grade classes, considering challenges and (im)possibilities; 3) Analyze the life-formation trajectories of subjects from rural areas, coming from multi-grade classes, highlighting (im)probable futures. Methodologically, this is a qualitative research, whose main data collection instrument was the semi-structured interview. From the narratives of the participants, it became evident that even with the precarious provision of the right to education, and despite facing challenges and difficulties, the participants managed to persist in the pursuit of this constitutional right, believing in the transformative possibilities that education promotes in the trajectory of subjects from rural areas, as observed in their lifeformation trajectories. Students from multi-grade classes, originating from rural areas, defy predictions and present (im)probable futures. Thus, it is understood that it is necessary to guarantee access, material conditions, and quality in the provision of education for rural communities, a right historically denied, which is why various struggles are undertaken. And, it is the reason for conducting this study.
