Educação do campo e políticas educacionais: avanços, contradições e retrocessos.

Abstract

The current article aims to make a reflection how a policy for Field Education, rises on Brazil, in last 20 years, as a founder strategy of the Field Education Movement. This Movement has emerged against the society model that reproduces social, political and economic asymmetries which marks the past and present Brazil history, and displays a critical position against the precarious and decontextualized school model implemented in Brazilian country. The dialetic approach guided the investigative process that had in the documentary analysis and in the literature review fundamental procedures for the construction of this text. The contradiction posed by the State as an instrument of capital regulation, has generated over the years a tension in the materialization of the policies and programs claimed by the Field Education Movement, especially at this moment of retreats and returns in social rights in our Country. However, we identify achievements in educational practices, in the articulation of the diversity of rural, water and forest subjects in the fight against oppression and by the affirmation of a territorialization of family and agroecological agriculture.
