SOARES, Lucas de Vasconcelos; COLARES, Maria Lília Imbiriba Sousa  y  FERREIRA, Maria Antonia Vidal. EDUCATIONAL POLICIES IN THE AMAZON: the “indigenous” issue in higher education. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.61, pp.68-80.  Epub 08-Jun-2020. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2020.49558.

The article aims to analyze the policies of access and permanence of indigenous students in Higher Education in the Amazon region of Brazil, contrasting this reality with the historical procedures adopted by government agencies around the effectiveness of this premise in education. The analyzes performed consist of bibliographic and documentary research, contemplating achievements for indigenous peoples in Brazil, such as Law n. 12,711/2012 that incorporates the Quota System in public universities (BRASIL, 2012). From the results obtained, it is possible to verify that there were significant advances in educational policies in favor of indigenous insertion in higher education, as well as these contributed to the expansion of the right to diversity among peoples, reflected in subsequent legislation, such as Law n. 11,645/2008. However, despite the recent presence in higher education, the indigenous issue currently undergoes ruptures, minimizing the compensatory character and assuming an inclusive and socially responsible commitment to local development, consolidating itself as an effective public right. In the Amazon, the experiences contemplated indicate a positive sense, however, necessary for attention with financing, in the context of an educational crisis in the country.

Palabras clave : indigenous higher education; education in the Amazon; public policies in the Amazon.
