Os desafios da Educação do Campo frente ao Agribusiness: um estudo de caso em Sumidouro - RJ

ABSTRACT. This paper presents reflections about the challenges of implementing Rural Education in Sumidouro - RJ, an essentially agricultural municipality whose production is strongly linked to industrial capital and the education offered by schools is out of context with local needs. The methodology used was based on bibliographic review, documentary analysis and participant observation. It was identified that the Municipal Plan of Education of Sumidouro makes few references to the rural reality of the students, not contemplating much of the specific yearnings of this public. This fact is in line with the socio-environmental problems observed in the municipality, such as progressive soil erosion, contamination of water resources, rural producers' indebtedness and high levels of school dropout from the second elementary school segment, which makes Sumidouro one of the worst HDIs in the state. Therefore, it was concluded that it is necessary to prioritize Rural Education applied to Sumidouro Elementary School. Thus, it is necessary to learn from the example of the CEFFA in Nova Friburgo and to prevent the pressure of local economic interests and the MEC itself regarding the imposition of a common curricular basis, decontextualized with the principles of Rural Education.ABSTRACT.

Este trabajo presenta reflexiones acerca de los desafíos de la implementación de la Educación del Campo en Sumidouro - RJ, un municipio esencialmente agrícola, cuya producción está fuertemente ligada al capital industrial y la educación ofrecida por las escuelas está descontextualizada con las necesidades locales. La metodología empleada se basó en revisión bibliográfica, análisis documental y observación participante. Se identificó que el Plan Municipal de Educación de Sumidouro hace pocas referencias a la realidad rural de los educandos, no contemplando gran parte de los anhelos específicos de este público. Este hecho está en línea con los problemas socioambientales observados en el municipio, como la erosión progresiva del suelo, la contaminación de los recursos hídricos, el endeudamiento de los productores rurales y los altos niveles de deserción escolar en el segundo segmento de escuelas primarias, lo que convierte a Sumidouro en el peor IDH del estado. De esta manera, se concluyó que es necesario hacer factible la Educación del Campo aplicada a la enseñanza primaria en Sumidouro. En este sentido, es necesario aprender del ejemplo de CEFFA en Nova Friburgo y evitar la presión de los intereses económicos locales y del propio MEC con respecto a la imposición de una base curricular común, descontextualizada con los principios de la Educación del Campo. ABSTRACT.

A metodologia empregada se baseou em revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e observação participante. Foi identificado que o Plano Municipal de Educação de Sumidouro faz poucas referências à realidade rural dos educandos, não contemplando grande parte dos anseios específicos deste público. Este fato vai de encontro aos problemas socioambientais observados no município, como o desgaste progressivo dos solos, a contaminação dos recursos hídricos, o endividamento dos produtores rurais e os altos níveis de evasão escolar a partir do segundo segmento do ensino fundamental, que colocam Sumidouro entre os piores IDHs do estado. Desta forma, concluiu-se que é necessário viabilizar a Educação do Campo aplicada ao Ensino fundamental em Sumidouro. Neste sentido, é preciso aprender com o exemplo do CEFFA de Nova Friburgo e se antever a pressão dos interesses econômicos locais e do próprio MEC quanto à imposição de uma base curricular comum, descontextualizada com os princípios da Educação do Campo.
