Resumo
This research's main objective is to understand the EFAORI (in english: Orizona's
Family Farm School), an alternative experience focused on educating the peasant
young. It is expected to understand how does the school organizes it's policy and itself,
and if it has achieved it's goals. Along the history, Brazilian's formal education was
organized to guarantee the dominant classes's interests and with the countryside's
education it is not different. There is a lack of efficient public policy that provides a
preparating education to the peasant young to the life and work on their reality. The
EFA's(FFS) started in the 1930s in France and first came to Brazil in 1960, in Espírito
Santo, allied with the social fight for land and education. Soon the experience spreads
along all Brazilian's regions, to make opposition against the rural education offered to
the peasant young. In the end of the 1990s was created the EFAORI, located 130 km
away from the capital of Goiás State, Goiânia, in the small town of Orizona(GO). A
strong feature of Orizona is the great presence of agricultural activities, so there was a
necessity of having a differentiated education to these young, for them to be adapted to
their reality. The FFS's main goal is to provide the young good conditions to stay in the
farm with quality of life. The FFS are associated with the pedagogy of alternation, in
which the students stay a period boarding school, and another period, with the same
duration, in the farm, practicing what was learnt in the school. The objective of the
school - social environment integration is the complete educative formation of the
young, considering their daily realities. The interest for studying this subject came from
the disquietude upon the neglected Brazilian's education, particularly in the farms. The
FFS shows themselves, not only as an alternative to the dominant model of education,
but, mainly, as an education that does not undergo to the dictates of economy, and
worries about a social transformation. To get to the results, there was made a
questionnaire with 56% of the school's students and interviews with 20% of the egresses
from the school in the years of 2007, 2008 and 2009. Informal conversations were also
made with students, teachers and other school employees. The EFAORI, as concluded
in this research, has contributed to the social emancipation for the young peasant. It was
concluded that 70% of the young interviewed migrated to the urban areas to give
continuity to their academic life, however, they assumed that they wish to go back to the
farms with a better formation, which would improve their family's income. This
research is expected to contribute with the experience of FFS, especially the EFAORI,
towards allowing some questions about school to be rethought, and it is expected, as
well, that the positive points get reinforced, aiming to strengthen this experience which
is a good alternative to the farm families.
