The enforcement of the right to Rural area Education for peasant communities comprises major challenges, which go through the pedagogical aspects of the infrastructure. Due to these challenges, the basic aim of this article is to present the reality of three rural schools located in Northwestern, of the State of Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. In practical terms, we analyzed the infrastructural conditions of these schools based on three analytical categories: architectural infrastructure; basic infrastructure; and equipment. The data collection process took place between 2015 and 2019, through participant observation as part of the pedagogical experiences carried out in the three schools. As the main results, we highlight the gross negligence of the public authorities on compliance with the minimum infrastructure standards of schools. Subsequently, such power uses the precariousness argument as their excuse to put into practice a criminal policy of rural schools closure. This policy is not an isolated phenomenon from the studied context. It therefore reflects the national reality.

Palavras-chave : Rural area schools; infrastructure; precariousness; closure.
