Rural education and the necessary overcoming of rural and urban duality

Abstract

In this text, I try to present some elements to discuss rural education in the perspective of strengthening resistance against capitalist logic. Based on a mistaken understanding of development, capitalism tries to cancel the cultural, political, technological, environmental and educational manifestations existing in the peasant territories.  Education for rural people, despite existing public policies, continues to be marginalized and neglected by most state and municipal governments. The reflections developed had as methodological support the bibliographic research and the analysis of experiences developed by the Group of Studies and Research in Education, Culture and Communication, Federal Universitu of Uberlândia.
