A educação como direito de todos: inclusão e permanência dos haitianos na escola pública de Cascavel - PR (2012-2024)

Abstract

This dissertation is connected to the History of Education research line of the Postgraduate Program in Education of the State University of Western Paraná, Cascavel - PR campus. The aim is to discuss the permanence of Haitians in public schools in the municipality of Cascavel - PR, to understand the processes of insertion of this public in elementary II schools. This study is based on the relevant legislation, especially the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Guidelines and Bases Law (Law No. 9.394/1996) and the Migration Law (Law No. 13.445/2017), which respectively establish the basic rights and obligations of Brazilians, migrants and visitors. The problem is as follows: How did Haitian students integrate and remain in public schools in Cascavel, given the challenges and strategies adopted by this institution? Methodologically, this is a bibliographical study accompanied by data collection and field research. The data were obtained from the Regional Education Center (NRE) and the Municipal Education Department (SEMED) of Cascavel - PR, from regional newspapers and from technical visits to schools. We also used information provided by the Observatory of International Migration (OBMigra), based on its annual reports on the subject. The discussions are based on authors such as Ribeiro (1987), Fávero (2014) and Alves (2015), who discuss public schools, as well as theses and dissertations such as those of Eberhardt (2017) and Manica (2018). The data analyzed shows that there is a need for better training for school administrators and other school professionals in dealing with immigrants. Therefore, to deal with this difficulty, public schools need to adapt, especially about the training of professionals, as well as formulating a project aimed at the demands of this population regarding their inclusion, so that the legal principles established in the Federal Constitution and the Law of Guidelines and Bases are put into effect.
