Description
Summary:Despite its eminently economic merits, the implementation of the Bioceanic Corridor: Porto Murtinho-Portos do Norte Chile Route also requires the intelligibility of its various social impacts on local communities, including those that affect public education. In this sense, this work aims to understand the social, economic and, especially, educational context of the southern Mato Grosso municipality of Porto Murtinho, which borders Carmelo Peralta in Paraguay and is the starting point of the Route in Brazil. Therefore, we carried out bibliographical and statistical research, through the collection and analysis of official indicators generated by IBGE and INEP. The results show that Porto Murtinho, a small town, has its economy based primarily on agriculture; the public school system serves just over four thousand students daily and this demand is marked by cultural and linguistic diversity given the presence of foreigners and indigenous populations as well. Based on these data, therefore, it is clear that the implementation of the Bioceanic Corridor will focus on a context in itself that is already diverse and will tend to increase the demand for school education as it should boost the permanence of inhabitants who currently do not find jobs in the municipality, and also the arrival of new subjects, given the potential economic growth represented by the implementation of the Bioceanic Corridor. Thus, the implementation should be accompanied by investments in education, aiming to fill gaps that already existed and meet emerging needs.
