The impacts of globalization on Rural Education: public policies of resistance

Abstract

This article aims to conduct a discussion about the globalization process and its implications on Rural Education. Bringing Rural Education into this discussion, results in identifying the impacts that globalization can bring, affecting the cultural and social uniqueness of these subjects. It is a theoretical-bibliographic study of a basic nature, qualitative in terms of approaching the problem and analytical descriptive in terms of objectives. We present in the text the undeniable impact that globalization, intensified in modern times, has on Rural Education: its cultural homogenization, the commodification of the educational system, the crushing of local cultures, the exclusion of its uniqueness and the standardization of behavior, denying the historicity of peasant struggles for land and quality education that is inherent to it. Contrary to this process, the text points to public policies aimed at Rural Education, as forms of resistance to this movement.
