As politicas publicas educacionais, apesar de na sua essencia, ser umaproposta interessante e de boas intencoes, deixa a desejar na implementacao,pois nao oferece condicoes estruturais e recursos humanos qualificados para otrabalho. exemplo o Programa Mais Educacao, que se bem planejado e tendocondicoes de operar seria uma otima opcao para a formacao de consciencia humana,no sentido de construir realmente conhecimentos. Ainda estamos com um tratamento periferico para a educacao e quando setrata de educacao escolar do campo, tem-se ainda muito que avancar. Aspoliticas que existem se da muito mais pela luta dos movimentos sociais do quepela compreensao institucional da importancia da educacao. Os olhares que se da a educacao se pautam muito mais por politicas assistenciaisfinanciadas pelo Banco Mundial, do que pela necessidade e o respeito ascomunidades, aos povos nas suas mais diversas realidades.Nossa historia de educacao, principalmente do campo esta muitoenraizada ainda no latifundio, no cativeiro, e para isso qualquer coisa serve. Claroque ja se tem muitas conquistas, mas ainda estamos engatinhando em termosde conquistas e condicoes. E preciso recolocar a importancia da educacao na sociedade, reconhecendoe respeitando os modos proprios de vida social e dos espacos existentespartindo do micro para chegar ao macro, para que nao se torneapenas depositos de criancas e de seres humanos.
