Abstract

This course completion work was developed from documentary and bibliographic research that discusses rural education. In this sense, the work presents a brief historicization of the origin of rural education policy in the country to the present day and highlights the importance of social movements in the construction of this process. In this sense, the general objective of this study is to understand the ills that plague rural education and the consequences in the life of rural communities. In consonance, the specific objectives are aimed at briefly analyzing the historical context of the development of rural education in the country. In addition to discussing the challenges posed to this policy and the consequences for students in these regions and, finally, identifying the expressions of the social issue present in rural education. The findings of the research indicate that the main challenges of rural education range from structures, transportation, multigrade classrooms, specific training of educators, the lack of allocation of public resources until due recognition in the country's political agendas. The advances and achievements along this trajectory are the result of struggles and resistance, with a strong contribution from rural social movements, which in addition to the struggle for land, fight for a rural education that meets the needs and specificities of rural peoples and thus rural education gains important normative frameworks, which add to the advances of these struggles.
