Authors: Kapliyeva M. P. , Kapliyev A. A. 
Published: January 2025

Objective. To characterize the development of healthcare in the BSSR in the 1920s-1930s based on the analysis of the main indicators of medical care for the population.Materials and methods. The basis of the study was the analysis of materials of general and specialized medical statistics of the BSSR, current records management of healthcare authorities from archival collections using general scientific and special historical methods of analysis, as well as elements of the index method of mathematical analysis, within the use of which the absolute figures were converted into indicators per 10 thousand people.Results. One of the main tasks of the interwar healthcare of the BSSR was to overcome the traditional lag in medical development of Belarusian lands in providing the population with hospital services and medical personnel. However, the intensive growth of medical network, due to the warfare of the Polish-Soviet war of 1919–1921 caused the possibility of military resources using to increase civilian healthcare opportunities, was replaced in the early 1920s by a period of significant reduction in the medical network has begun, caused by the need to save money in the context of the implementation of the New Economic Policy. Only with the beginning of a planned economy and the necessity of medical support for growing industry and agriculture as part of the policy of industrialization and collectivization the main indicators of medical care for the population began to increase rapidly, reaching a peak by the end of the studied period. Increased share from local and national budget allocations, as well as the expansion of the higher medical education system, which allowed in a short time to increase the number of graduated doctors to saturate the growing medical network.Conclusion. The development of healthcare in the BSSR in the 1920s and 1930s is an example of a striking contrast in approaches and the practical results of the healthcare development. When the 1920s were a period of overcoming the consequences of massive cuts in medicine during the New Economic Policy period, accompanied by a decrease in the number of medical institutions and an extremely small increase in the number of doctors, in the 1930s the beginning of a planned economy became the main trigger for the accelerated growth of the main indicators of medical care to the population. As a result, by the end of the 1930s the BSSR not only restored, but also improved the pre-revolutionary indicators of healthcare development by more than 2 times, which is proof of the high efficiency of the Soviet healthcare system.

Authors: Pinheiro Patricia Magalhães , Beloni Josiane de Paula 
Published: January 2025

Este artigo joga luz no imbricamento entre a colonialidade e o racismo, bem como, no entretecimento entre a decolonialidade e o antirracismo, com ênfase nas práticas de resistências negras, compreendidas como práxis insurgentes presentes tanto em marcos legais e jurídicos brasileiros, quanto desenvolvidas por professoras/es comprometidas/os com a transformação social por meio de uma educação intercultural crítica e na construção de uma sociedade fraterna, equânime e democrática. Para atingirmos esse escopo, trazemos as reflexões teóricas acerca dos conceitos de colonialidade, racismo, decolonialidade, interculturalidade crítica e práxis insurgentes, bem como, as discussões levantadas pelas teses das autoras, defendidas pelo Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (PPGE-UFSC): “Entre silenciamentos e resistências: educação das relações étnico-raciais nas narrativas de professoras/es de Ciências Biológicas da UFSC” (PINHEIRO, 2020) e “Andarilhagens de professorxs: práticas de resistências negras na escola pública em Pelotas - RS” (PAULA, 2020). No texto privilegiamos a escuta das narrativas, vozes (RIBEIRO, 2017), memórias e experiências (BENJAMIN, 2012) de professoras/es comprometidas/os com a luta antirracista e decolonial, bem como, teóricas/os terceiro-mundistas, em especial autoras/es negras/os e indígenas. Demarcando assim, posição teórico-metodológica e política ao escolher os referencias epistemológicos, as vozes que não se silenciam, que falam, que gritam junto conosco contra as injustiças da Colonialidade/Modernidade!
ESCOLA SEM PARTIDO E RAÇA: Uma Educação para a Colonialidade?
Authors: Garcia Caio Matheus de Freitas , Silva Caroline dos Santos Maciel , Teixeira Pedro Pinheiro 
Published: January 2025

Ao longo da última década, observa-se o avanço do conservadorismo sobre diferentes esferas da sociedade brasileira. No campo educacional, esse avanço pode ser visto na atuação do movimento Escola sem Partido (ESP) em disputas sobre currículos, políticas e práticas escolares. Pesquisadores criticam as ações e posicionamentos do movimento, que reforçam concepções de educação autoritárias, discriminatórias e alinhadas à colonialidade. A colonialidade pode ser compreendida como um padrão de poder de vocação mundial, que tem como um de seus fatores fundamentais a classificação da diversidade humana a partir da noção de raça, utilizada para naturalizar as dinâmicas de dominação colonial e que ainda permanece nas relações sociais. Em contrapartida, os estudos da decolonialidade e da interculturalidade buscam por novas formas de conhecer, pensar e ser que desafiem os significados e as lógicas da colonialidade. O objetivo deste artigo é identificar e analisar as características da colonialidade em pautas defendidas pelo movimento Escola sem Partido no que se refere às relações étnico-raciais. Para isso, realizamos um levantamento de textos disponíveis no blog do movimento na internet e analisamos seu conteúdo a partir de referenciais decoloniais, especialmente dos conceitos de colonialidade do ser, do saber e do poder. Os textos analisados expressam críticas recorrentes ao ensino de História e consideram como doutrinação abordagens que questionam a colonialidade. Dessa maneira, os discursos aglutinados no ESP reiteram a colonialidade sobre a educação, a sociedade e as relações étnico-raciais, representando um impedimento às práticas pedagógicas e currículos interculturais e decoloniais na educação.

Published: January 2025

No tangenciar entre a inferiorização da população negra dentro da sociedade e sua superação, as práticas dentro do ambiente escolar são fundamentais na mediação de tal processo. Objetivamos aqui, por meio de uma pesquisa quantitativa exploratória de caráter bibliográfico e uma posterior análise de conteúdo, compreender, explicitar e discutir sobre as ações necessárias no contexto escolar e na formação docente, que visem trabalhar a valorização da história e herança cultural da população negra com os estudantes. O papel dos agentes educativos é imprescindível dentro desse processo, juntamente à luta por uma sociedade livre de discriminações raciais e estereótipos. Mas ainda assim, é possível observar negligência por parte das instituições em não efetivar a aplicação de conteúdos referentes à História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira. Concluímos que, a falta de práticas dentro do contexto escolar, juntamente às dificuldades encontradas em sua adoção, se dão principalmente pela falta de preparação dos agentes educativos em trabalhar tal temática.
