Abstract

VENDRAMINI, Célia Regina. A escola diante do multifacetado espaço rural. Perspectiva [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.01, pp.145-165. ISSN 0102-5473.

The article reflects upon schools in rural regions with a focus on three issues: the characteristics of rural regions in Santa Catarina State, the transformation taking place there and the meaning of school. The purpose of the article is to stimulate discussion about schools in rural regions, considering the significant technical developments and the increasing poverty of the rural population. It emphasizes the inequality and the brutality of Brazilian society. Schools, which were created to promote social development; reduce migration to urban areas and take urban culture to the underdeveloped rural population; need to be discussed to overcome the separation between urban and rural environments. This should be based on the political and education experiences being constructed by the rural workers’ organizations.

Keywords : Rural Schools; Rural Regions; Human Education.
