Políticas públicas educacionais para negros: uma análise sob a óptica das escolas estaduais do município de Santana do Livramento - RS

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze how the federal government's public educational policies aimed at the black population contribute to the reduction of racial inequality in Brazil, providing equal access to social rights for all citizens in Brazil. To answer this question, this study aims to analyze how the federal government's public educational policies aimed at the black population contribute to the reduction of racial inequality in Brazil, providing equal access to social rights for all citizens in Brazil . To achieve this goal, we seek to study educational laws related to black history and culture; verify the functioning and importance of affirmative action policies (quota system); identify federal public policies in the area of education and their contribution to reducing racial inequality; carry out a survey of data in state schools in Santana do Livramento to find out if Law No. 10.639/03 is being complied with in school curricula, and present the results that can be observed from the application of the aforementioned norm to the school population. Given the importance of the debate and knowledge about educational public policies aimed at the Afro-Brazilian people, the question of this research arises: Federal public policies in the area of education, aimed at the black population, are or are not important to reduce racial inequality? Faced with this question, the research was carried out through an interview with teachers from public schools in the municipality of Santana do Livramento. It is concluded that the law 10.639/03, which is mandatory in school curricula, is still not known to all, however they recognize the importance of this topic not only for education but as a form of social and equal recognition for all.
