EDUCATION HISTORY IN THE QUILOMBOS NOSSA SENHORA APARECIDA DO CHUMBO AND CAMPINA DE PEDRA IN POCONÉ/ MT

STRUGGLES AND RESISTANCE

Abstract

Since the beginning, the process of education in Brazil was destinated to attend the elites of the country.  For them were offered the teaching opportunities, but for the others, the negation to the scholar process and in that way, it was conceivable to understand that for the black population from rural communities, that teaching could not be a reality, reinforcing through a right, the social inequalities.  Hence, the following text aims to reveal the school education struggle of the quilombolas communities Nossa Senhora Aparecida do Chumbo and Campina de Pedra from Poconé Municipality/MT. Methodologically, it is a qualitative inquiry of ethnographic type proposed by Geertz (2012). The instruments used to gather data were the observation and the interview with the oldest residents of those communities. The reports revealed the main role, effort and the struggle of quilombolas to make the education happens in the community, as well as the obstructed educational trajectories of that population, considering the omission of the public power to offer education to the residents of those territories.
