Educação escolar indígena: os desafios enfrentados pelo povo Jeripankó por uma educação diferenciada e de qualidade

Abstract

Indigenous school education in the country faces several problems, considering that a school system that meets all the educational needs of the various indigenous peoples existing in the country has not yet been structured. Indigenous school education is extremely important for the social, political and economic formation of indigenous peoples, and that is why it is one of the main characteristics of the indigenous movement. This research is relevant to reflect on the process of indigenous school education, from the context of indigenous education of the Jeripankó ethnic group, which inhabits the rural área of the municipality of Pariconha, in the Mesoregion of Sertão de Alagoas, a town approximately 370 km from Maceió , capital of Alagoas. To carry out an investigation, the work was based on a bibliographical review, where several authors were used, namely: Prado Júnior (1976), Almeida (2010), Moraes (2011) among others. In addition, it has some contributions attributed to functions assigned in loco, in which an indigenous teacher and the director of the José Carapina School were interviewed. There were also consultations carried out in the History and Geography textbooks used at the José Carapina Indigenous State School. It is noteworthy that the information related to the discoveries and consultations to textbooks served to assist the literature review.
