Ethnic-racial relations. Implementation of public policies. Law 10.639/03. FederalDistrict.
This thesis aims to present a diagnosis of how the implementation of Article 26-A of the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education − LDB (Law no 9394/96) has been implemented in theSecretariat of Education of the Federal District, between 2003 and 2022. We tried to identify how some actors included in the National Plan for the Implementation of National Curriculum Guidelines for the Teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture¬ articulate with the Federal District's Department of Education and build Public Action for the implementation of Ethnic-Racial Education in public education in the Federal District. For that, we investigated the role of SEEDF −DCDHD, DSAADHD and EAPE−; the Center for Afro-Brazilian Studiesat the University of Brasília - NEAB/UnB; the Study and Research Group on Public Policies, History, Education on Racial and Gender Relations - GEPPHERG/UnB; the Forum of the Ethnic Racial Education Forum of Federal District, and of the Teaching Institutions (administrators and teachers). We carried out bibliographical research, documentary research and interviews with members of the aforementioned actors and with teachers and administrators of a School in Ceilândia-DF. We concluded that Article 26-A is implemented, but it fails to advance due to factors such as: constant administrative changes, lack of financial resources, insufficient technical staff, refractory political context to themes related to diversities. Many actions have been carried out based on the voluntarism and Institutional Activism of teachers and administrators.
