O transporte escolar na zona rural: desafios encontrados pelos estudantes da Escola Municipal Vereador Osvaldo A. de Souza, Barreirão/Campos Belos- GO

Abstract

The present study refers to research carried out during the Degree in Rural Education: Visual Arts and Music at the Federal University of Tocantins, as a Final Paper Work (TCC). This monographic work highlights the difficulties encountered by students using school transport to reach schools where they seek basic knowledge to exercise citizenship. The study took place in the municipality of Campos Belos (GO), bordering the state of Tocantins, with students from Escola Municipal Vereador Osvaldo A. de Souza, Barreirão/ Campos Belos (GO) who live in difficult to access locations, i.e. whose roads are secondary, or part of the student's path is. The supply and quality of the public service provided by the city hall was verified, how students feel when being transported and how the quality of the service supports this search for systematic knowledge, offered by the nuclear school they attend. The study had a theoretical basis from Caldart (2012), Arroyo (2007), Pegoretti (2005) among others. The methodology adopted in this study is qualitative research, and the elicitation took place through written questionnaires with students who use school transport, the teacher and manager of the school where the transported students are received. In view of this, it was found that challenges such as the quality of roads that cause inconsistent school transport, delays and other items, impact students' academic performance.
