A educação do campo no contexto da Escola Municipal Unidocente de Ensino Fundamental Córrego Santa Filomena (Vila Pavão/ES)

The affirmation of the countryside education results from the struggle of movements and social organizations that come together to claim this right, seeking to recognize and strengthen country people. Despite this, this right has been denied to contryside population, which highlights the need for studies that can characterize and denounce the absence of this type of education in peasant territories. In this sense, this work aims to discuss the relationship between the countryside education and the educational practices developed by the Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Unidoscente (EMUEF) Córrego Santa Filomena, located in Vila Pavão, State of Espírito Santo, Brazil, and demonstrates the contradictions between the guarantee of countryside education in the form of the law and its materiality. To this end, this text considers the ideas of Caldart (2012; 2004), Oliveira and Campos (2012), and Molina and Freitas (2011), which also support the analysis of data from exploratory research carried out on the topic. Although the aforementioned school is located in a rural area, the specificity of peasant peoples is not present in its pedagogical proposal. Finally, it is clear that the school community's demand for countryside education has represented an important strategy of resistance and tension in favor of the rights of peasant communities.
