4. Presidential Decree No. 6,040, dated January 4, 2007, establishes the National Policy
for Sustainable Development of Traditional People and Communities, recognizing them as:
[…] Traditional People and Communities: culturally distinct groups that
recognize themselves as such, have their forms of social organization, occupy
and use territories and natural resources as a condition for their cultural, social,
religious, ancestral, and economic reproduction, using knowledge,
innovations, and practices generated and transmitted by tradition (BRASIL,
2007, our translation).
Regarding this, the following principles are highlighted:
I - recognition, valorization, and respect for the socio-environmental and
cultural diversity of traditional people and communities, taking into account,
among other aspects, ethnicity, race, gender, age, religiosity, ancestry, sexual
orientation, and labor activities, as well as the relationship of these aspects
within each community or people, in order not to disrespect, subsume, or
neglect the differences of these same groups, communities, or people or to
establish or reinforce any relationship of inequality;
XIV - the preservation of cultural rights, the practice of community activities,
cultural memory, and racial and ethnic identity (BRASIL, 2007, our
translation).
5. Opinion CNE/CEB No. 3, dated February 18, 2008, reexamines Opinion CNE/CEB
No. 23/2007, addressing the consultation regarding the necessary support for rural education
and establishing a conceptual debate on the definition of rural schools, ultimately defining the
legal guidelines for rural education support (BRASIL, 2008b).
6. Resolution CNE/CEB No. 2, dated April 28, 2008, establishes complementary
guidelines, rules, and principles necessary for the development of Rural Education, defines
criteria for school clustering, and ensures intracampus and rural-to-urban school transportation,
aiming to provide educational opportunities close to the learners' residences (BRASIL, 2008b).
It establishes and regulates the provision of rural education as follows:
Article 1: Rural Education comprises Basic Education in its stages of Early
Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, and
Integrated Technical Education and is intended to serve rural populations in
their various forms of life production, including family farmers, extractivists,
artisanal fishermen, riverside communities, settlers and landless individuals
from Agrarian Reform, quilombolas, coastal communities, indigenous people,
and others.
Paragraph 1: Rural Education, the responsibility of the Federative Entities,
which should establish forms of collaboration in its planning and execution,
aims to universalize Accessed in, retention, and educational success with
quality at all levels of Basic Education.
