Abstract

SANTOS, Marilene. Countryside education in the National Education Plan: tensions between guaranteeing and denying the right to education. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.98, pp.185-212. ISSN 0104-4036.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-40362018002600965.

This bibliographic article discusses the right to education for rural populations and analyzes the guarantee of this right in the documents that guide education policy in the country in recent decades. The empirical material analyzed is composed by the Decennial Education Plan (1993) and the Nationals Education Plan (2001 and 2014). The analysis focused in reflecting on the way rural education discussion is presented in the documents analyzed, explaining the tensions emerging from the current plan, which oscillates between the warranty and the non-fulfillment of the right to education. Furthermore, this article problematizes the conception of Rural Education and assumes the perspective of countryside education in the reflection of legal texts. The conclusions indicate advances in the National Education Plan (2014) in relation to previous plans, not presenting, however, significant achievements regarding countryside education. There is thus a long way to go before it can be said that Brazil ensures educational rights for the peasant population.

Keywords : Countryside education; National Education Plan; Public policy.
