Programa de Estudante-Convenio de Graduação - PEC-G: o que nos dizem as alunas africanas sobre as universidades públicas do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This work turns to question the African continent linked to the Student Program - Graduate Agreement - PEC-G. We approach, through their speeches and looks at the treatment received by them, at the university level where they study. We were interested in how they are received on their arrival at the university as the preparation of the institution for this group of students. Our goal here is to identify how gender and race operate in the educational and school trajectories of African students benefiting from the PEC-G Program. We used the research methodology “bola de neve” or snowball, through a semi-open questionnaire, with black, African women, in Brazilian territory, in public universities in Rio de Janeiro. The work seeks to present a brief historical overview of the referred program, and its implementation in the country, the growing number of students linked to this program in public universities in recent years, and how structural racism affects their daily lives, how it interferes in academic life and social. Their statements throughout the research show us that the university is a reflection of social and racial problems.
