Ações Afirmativas de Reserva de Vagas para Indígenas no Ensino Médio Técnico Profissionalizante no IFMT: impactos e possibilidades de ressignificação

Abstract

This study reflects on the impact and re-signification of the Policy of Quotas implemented by the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Mato Grosso - IFMT, based on what is regulated by the Federal Decree of October 11th, 2012, and established by Law 12,711/2012, that aimed at promoting inclusive education, by allocating a percentage of the vacancies for students coming from public schools, black-skinned and indigenous people, in High School technical education. It has its focus on affirmative actions for indigenous ethnic groups. The work contextualizes the historical / cultural process of the trajectory of these people in Mato Grosso, by recovering information of the trajectory of these ethnic groups, during the Brazilian developmental process to understand the current situation of these populations. It also highlights information from IBGE researches about ethnic groups, indigenous lands, languages, population, and schooling, combining them to the possibility of course offerings through IFMT. It uses Ball's (2009) Public Policy Cycle Approach in order to comprehend the complex and controversial course of politics, throughtout the analysis of the five contexts proposed in his theory. The results indicate that the impact on indigenous people who dropped out of the courses, after accessing them by Affirmative Action Policy for vacancies, is discouraging and do not foster the equity intended by the Law to these subsumed people whose society has made them invisible through the homogenization to the Afro-descendant groups. At the same time, the research identifies a political reaction born in the professional and daily practice of IFMT's government employees, understood by the context of the political strategies, aiming to transform and re-signify the effects of the policy that has not provided social justice in the locus of this research. of the political strategies, in order to transform and re-signify the effects of the Policy that in the Locus of the research did not provide social justice.
