Degree in Rural Education - Human Emancipation - Financing of Rural Education
This text aims to analyze the offer of the bachelor’s degree in Rural Education since its implementation, its expansion process having as a counterpoint the emptying actions perpetrated by the Temer government (2016-2018) and by the Jair Messias Bolsonaro government (2019 - 2022). Considering this context, the consequences for LEdoC and the resistance interfaces necessary to guarantee higher education in the countryside will be analyzed within the scope of public policies that supported the provision of bachelor’s degree courses in the Countryside. The research used the Historical-Dialectical Materialism (MHD) approach, providing us with the categories of historicity, contradiction and reality, following the procedures of Documentary Research in the stages of classification and organization, categorization of documents and establishment of existing relationships (Pádua, 2002), whose data collection instruments consisted of texts, pedagogical projects of the pilot classes offered by the Universities: UFMG, UnB, UFS and UFBA; in the Management Reports of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Federal University of South and Southeast Pará (Unifesspa) and University of Brasília (UnB Planaltina), to visualize the continuity of the offer of LEdoC classes in the research period; in the budgetary documents of the Union (PPA, LDO and LOA). Based on Martins (2008), the analysis will occur from the perspective of a Case Study, since this investigation is specifically based on Bachelor's Degrees in Rural Education. The analysis will be theoretically based on Molina (2009, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2022), Hage (2014, 2022), Curado Silva (2017), Netto (2009), Caldart (2002, 2004, 2012), Marx (2009), Gramsci (2000), Pistrak (2009), Freire (2007, 2019), Amaral (2021), Freitas (2017), Fernandes (2012), Saviani (2009), among other theorists; in the assumptions that guide Content Analysis, as we understand that this critical analysis and interpretation is essential for understanding the provision of Bachelor's Degree courses in Rural Education on Brazil, in the context of the rise of the neoliberal project that supplanted the agenda of social rights in development since 2002 with the election of President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva. This research demonstrates the importance of social movements join with educational entities and institutions in the struggle, conquest, development and confrontation of the dismantling and destructuring of public educational policies for the working class, having in the teacher training offered by the Bachelor's Degrees in Rural Education the perspective of human emancipation and overcoming class society.
