ANTI-RACIST EDUCATION: PRACTICES AND POLICIES FOR AN EQUITABLE SOCIETY

Abstract

This study addresses the implementation of anti-racist education in the Brazilian educational context, focusing on the analysis of legislation, public policies, and pedagogical practices. The research employs a bibliographic methodology, based on a systematic review of specialized literature, including scientific articles, books, and official documents. The main objective is to investigate strategies and challenges in promoting equitable and inclusive education that effectively combats structural racism in the educational system. The analysis covers national and international legal frameworks, as well as public policies aimed at anti-racist education. The implications of these measures on teacher training, curriculum development, and the creation of inclusive school environments are discussed. The study also examines the role of the school community, including students, educators, and families, in building an anti-racist culture. The results indicate the need for a holistic and multidisciplinary approach that integrates legal, pedagogical, and sociocultural aspects to promote effective and lasting change. It concludes that the successful implementation of anti-racist education requires ongoing commitment, adequate resources, and a profound transformation in educational and social structures. The study contributes to advancing knowledge in this area, offering valuable insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to building a fairer and more equitable educational system.
