Educação étnico racial: o que temos de fato como eixo transversal curricular para a educação básica?

Abstract

The educational discussion regarding Racial Ethnic Education in Brazil is not recent. Following an order of factors and powers, linked to the social demands of each historical period, some regulatory frameworks sought to guide educational practices in the country and, with it, the discussion on ethnic-racial relations to be carried out in schools. Provided for by law and currently present in the guidelines, skills and competences presented by the National Common Curricular Base - a guiding document of curricular practices in Brazil for Basic Education, Racial Ethnic Education is an extremely relevant topic from the point of view not only of education, but also of the integral formation of students, as an important point in the fight against racism. In this sense, the present work analyzed the skills and competences present in the BNCC, referring to this theme, for all educational levels, as well as the different areas of education, later concentrating its analysis on the teaching of Geography, the authors' training area. Thus, from a qualitative analysis, which involves the BNCC document, as well as two collections of textbooks, in a comparative way, it was observed that despite being instituted several points of insertion of the theme, throughout the different series in teaching of Geography and, the textbooks bring the call: updated according to the BNCC, Racial Ethnic Education is little developed in fact, in the books. It is practically incipient and the textbooks do not really meet the requirements, which is guided by the BNCC, leaving the teacher to develop the theme.
