Abstract

This paper is a reflection on education and peasant schools from the experience of social movements in the rural milieu. It relates the construction of this educational view with the history of the Landless Movement. Moreover, it formulates some lessons that have been learnt during this process of construction, which serve as a basis for the articulation of the principles for the making of a peasant school. It also attaches two important documents: letters written by the children of the Landless Movement and the letter of the First National Caucus of Educators in Agrarian Reform.
