A educação na Região Norte: apontamentos iniciais

Abstract

This paper discusses aspects of the education in the North region, in particular, in the State of Pará; offers a focus on cultural diversity, especially concern on the education of indigenous peoples, maroon and peasants’ communities. It analyses documents and projects of partner organizations of the “North of Knowledge” Program. We conclude that education in the North requires detailed analysis on its various dimensions. It should be noted that the processes articulated by civil society are collective good cheer, to guide the construction of a proposed collective democratic quality education that considers the territorial diversity and human, and overcoming inequalities.
