A (IN)EFETIVIDADE DO DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO NO CENÁRIO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO: uma análise direcionada à cultura cigana

Abstract

This paper addresses the importance of inclusiveness and the right to formal education for Roma children. Such an approach is justified by the fact that few Roma children attend formal institutions. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that there are possibilities to reduce illiteracy in this culture that has fought so hard for its survival. This purpose will be achieved through bibliographic review. The study demonstrated that, through public policies based on Brazilian legislation, schools must offer the same quality of education to all, regardless of race or ethnicity, and that it is possible for schools to work with wisdom and respect with Roma children, and not to underestimate their culture, but to contribute, and not to let them feel threatened by being a social minority, and, consequently, encourage these students not to lose the desire to be in a classroom, since they are used to living in freedom and not between walls. And the enjoyment of this right and privilege must be used to encourage others not to be afraid and to reduce prejudice, thus corroborating for a more just and egalitarian society.
