Educação superior como garantia dos direitos humanos a população vulnerável: os desafios da população indígena

Abstract

O presente trabalho aborda a interseção entre educação superior e direitos humanos para a população vulnerável, com foco nos desafios enfrentados pelos indígenas. Explora como a educação superior pode servir como garantia desses direitos, destacando barreiras específicas e propondo soluções inclusivas para promover a equidade educacional. We know well that throughout history the relations between indigenous peoples and representatives of the colonial power and later with the nationstate, the school imposed itself in different ways, performing different functions. Furthermore, the dissertation analyzes existing educational policies, identifying gaps that affect the accessibility and quality of higher education for vulnerable groups, especially indigenous people. Furthermore, the dissertation analyzes existing educational policies, identifying gaps that affect the accessibility and quality of higher education for vulnerable groups, especially indigenous people. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948, states in Article 26: 'Everyone has the right to education. Since then, the right to education has been reaffirmed in several international treaties. The significant increase in schools and students points to a growing and accelerated process of schooling in indigenous lands, which also suggests university as a right, encouraging the political demand that the doors be opened to this sector of society that until then was practically absent from the spaces academics. Highlights the urgency of coordinated actions and effective public policies to transform higher education into an effective agent in promoting human rights, especially for those in vulnerable situations, such as the indigenous population. This holistic approach seeks to establish a more equitable and inclusive landscape, reflecting a genuine commitment to human dignity and diversity.
