Abstract

This research was developed as a conclusion work of the Licentiate course in Field Education - Natural Sciences, by the Federal University of Pampa - Campus - Dom Pedrito. This had as a research question: "What are the conditions of school transportation that attends the Municipal Rural Succession of Moraes Schooland if there are conditions for improvement. The general objective is to understand how the school transportation planning that attends the Municipal School of Rural Education Sucessão dos Moraes, located in the municipality of Dom Pedrito, Rio Grande do Sul, is carried out. It's specific objectives were: to verify the Public Policies accessed for the transportation in this school; map the routes of transportation that attends the Escola Sucessão dos Moraes. In addition to identifying the effects that the community causes the planning of school transportation and find out if there are alternatives more appropriate to the proposed. Methodologically, a case study was characterized as a qualitative and procedural approach (GIL, 2002). For that, a mapping of the routes used was elaborated and a question naire was applied with open questions to the responsible for the school transport, the director, teachers and school community, being the qualitative analysis. During there search it was contacted that the responsible for the transportation cost of this school is the Municipal Government with the financial support of the State Program of support to the School Transportation and PNATE (National Program of support to the School Transport). It was mapped out that four routes are used to attend Escola Sucessão dos Moraes, and students living on the last two routes can take up to four hours to reach school. As alternatives to mitigate these effects, three possibilities are suggested: (a) planning the routes together between public managers, teachers and the school community in order to know the reality of the field; (b) joint actions between the Ministry of Education and the Secretariat of Works, since one is responsible for planning and the other for maintaining the roads; (c) reopening of schools in Ponche Verde and Upacaraí, and maybe through multi-series classes, since they are the longest routes.
