DISCOURSES ON INDIGENOUS SCHOOL EDUCATION

Resumen

This work is the result of extensive contact with Terena Indigenous School Education (EEI) in a large part of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Contact with Terena indigenous teachers, during the author's participation in the development and implementation, as well as teaching in the Postgraduate Program in Terena Language and Culture, was the main motivation for conducting the research. Subsequently, years of living in the village, in direct contact – through profession and/or friendship with Terena teachers – provided extensive observation of the actual functioning of the schools, in villages. This research is part of the work initiated since then. It deals with the knowledge of Terena teachers about the rights to EEI acquired by indigenous people and guaranteed in official documents; in this phase, about Resolution 05 of June 2012.
