Educação no/do campo: a negação do Ensino Médio e seu impacto no projeto de vida da juventude da comunidade Tapereira

Abstract

In the Amazon region of Vitória, young people from the countryside, the waters and the forests, through their stories, show their life stories, their resistance and their sense of belonging to the place. Thus, our studies sought to investigate their realities, through the analysis of the categories Education in/from the Countryside, Youth and Life Project, based on authors such as Roseli Caldart, Mônica Molina, Miguel Arroyo, Geraldo Leão, Maria Antunes-Rocha, Helena Abramo, Degiane Farias, Ivany Nascimento, Sicleide Queiroz and Maurício Tavares. Thus, we started with the following question: how does the denial of High School impact the life project of the youth of the Tapereira community? This resulted in the general objective of understanding how the denial of High School impacts the life project of the youth of the Tapereira community, as well as its specific objectives, which are to discuss the concepts Education in/from the Countryside, Youth and Life Project; identify the social, educational and economic profile of the young people of the Tapereira community; investigate the displacements of the young people to access high school; and understand how the denial of high school impacts the life project of the youth of the Tapereira community. The research methodology brought a qualitative approach that contributed to the clear understanding of the studied phenomena, the descriptive research made it possible to observe, record and analyze the data, the data collection techniques and instruments were questionnaire and semi-structured interview, the analysis and interpretation of the data were carried out through thematic analysis (TA). The locus of the research was the Tapereira community, located in the Cajari River Extractive Reserve (RESEX/CA), in the municipality of Vitória do Jari/AP. The research subjects were young extractivists. The research has social relevance due to the effort to study the reality of education of rural youth, regarding access to high school, and their life projects. In this sense, we consider that the youth of the Tapereira community have had their life projects impacted by the denial of access to secondary education. We observed that many young people were unable to access it, and those who were able to report how difficult it was to stay in the city, as well as that it is essential to have education in the community or in the Médio Cajari region, providing intra-country access.
