O acesso de estudantes quilombolas beneficiários(as) do programa bolsa permanência da Universidade Federal de Sergipe: uma análise de documentos institucionais.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the access and permanence of eight quilombola students who were beneficiaries of the Permanence Scholarship Program at the Federal University of Sergipe, based on institutional documents. For the development of the objectives, it was necessary to characterize who these quilombola students are in their access process to this university. Institutional projects and other actions that enable the access and permanence of the aforementioned students were also identified. The research is based on a quantitative-qualitative approach characterized as a case study. Data collection was based on document analysis, using the list of students issued by the institution, school records, the Institutional Development Plan and notices of selection processes, ordinances and resolutions, among other documents. The characterization of the profile revealed that all self-declared black or brown; being female and male in equal proportions; they are mostly age group (5) between 20 and 22 years old; live in rural area; from public schools; held a selection process in entrance exams and in the Unified Selection System; they entered by ethnic-racial quotas. The majority (5) opted for courses away from headquarters (among these, the majority on the Sertão campus), all enrolled in bachelor's degree courses. As a result, we initially point out that at the Federal University of Sergipe there are no specific access and permanence actions for these students, with only scholarships offered by the Permanence Scholarship Program offered by the Ministry of Education. As this university does not offer specific assistance for quilombola students, their access to this assistance was given through an open notice for all students of the institution. Finally, we also conclude that the data reveal the need for specific affirmative actions for quilombola students at this university, there is no specific process for quilombolas at this university, as well as there is no record of proposals in the documents for actions aimed at quilombolas at the institution, as well as forms of combating structural and institutional racism, as well as historical reparation and equal opportunities. We emphasize the importance of an effective action by the institution in its institutional projects.
