Um estudo sobre o fechamento das escolas do campo no 3º subdistrito do município de Dom Pedrito - RS

Abstract

This work aims to analyze some of the social impacts of the closure of the Carlos Coradini School, Condominio Xavier, Encruzilhada, Ernesto da Silva Mota, Menote Machado, Vacaiqua I, Vacaiqua III, and Rita Bittencourt being nucleated in the Municipal Rural School of Primary Education Sucessão dos Moraes. The methodology used for data collection was the use of interviews and research with subjects who lived or experienced the reality of the field. Through these data, it was noticed that there were several reasons for the closure of Field Schools. With the reports, however, it was possible to perceive that the justifications presented by the public power do not represent the reality. One of the reasons explained for the closing of a School of the Field would be to provide better teaching quality, but this did not happen. What can be seen, even today, are children leaving for the road at 4 o'clock in the morning and, when they arrive at school, they can not stay awake due to fatigue. It is evidenced that school transportation routes increase the time of students on the roads to Escola Pole. The reports of the teachers of the field enabled us to verify the importance for the life of the students and the community of multisite schools. A fact generated by the closure of the Campo Schools is the increase in the rural exodus, since many families moved to the city, not because they did not want to stay, but because their children needed to study. Great difficulties are also faced because Schools do not have complete elementary education. It was also noticed in the interviews that the municipality was looking for models of Schools and nucleations in cities such as Santa Maria and Ijuí, in which the minifundios prevail, different from the reality of the municipality of Dom Pedrito that has large latifundios and roads of difficult access.
