Análise crítica da infraestrutura de suporte aos alunos e do sistema de transporte escolar rural: o caso dos distritos de Trairi

Abstract

The basic definition of school transportation generally consists in seeing that children and adolescents arrive at school daily. The situation of rural school transportation in the interior of the state of Ceará is not different from other states in Brazil. Points in common include the precariousness of the fleet, lack of security in transporting students, inadequate localization of the schools and students who leave school before completing all grades, among other aspects which hinder the access students who come from rural areas have to teaching units. This paper seeks to critically analyze the support infra-structure provided for students from primary and secondary school and the rural school transportation system. It will focus on the districts in the municipality of Trairi, CE. The work methodology adopted in this study is an exploratory-investigative approach, based on bibliographical research and field work. The analyses done about the access students have to the teaching network in the rural zone show that difficulties persist, even when a school vehicle is available. It is perceived in this study that the challenge is not simply transporting students, but rather the need to manage interaction between infra-structure sectors and the rural school transportation in order for information to be shared, even though they are not satisfactory at first.
