This book seeks to contribute to
knowledge in two areas that are key to poverty reduction and
social development: education and youth vulnerability.
Specifically, the book focuses on the relationship between
poverty, ethnicity, gender, and educational exclusion in
four Northeast states in Brazil: Maranhao, Paraiba,
Pernambuco, and Rio Grande do Norte; and in the Southeast
state of Rio de Janeiro. Brazil has vigorously sought to
expand the coverage and quality of education, and has
achieved rapid results over the past decade. Progress has
been achieved on important indicators, and the quality of
education is now undoubtedly better than it was in the past.
But social background, either as insufficient family income
or low parental schooling, persists as a determinant of
children's lagging educational achievement. Rural,
indigenous, and Quilombola (descendants of fugitive slaves)
students have precarious access to education, with schools
often not offering the last four years of the mandatory
eight in the fundamental cycle. Dropout and repetition rates
remain key areas of concern for policymakers. Thus this book
includes what youth think about themselves, their schools,
their families, and the vulnerability provoked by their
gender, their ethnic background, and sometimes the depth of
their poverty. This book demonstrates the efforts that
Brazil should engage in to reach a pattern of development
that is inclusive for all. |
