Educação especial em escolas indígenas de Minas Gerais: cenários a partir de indicadores do censo escolar

Abstract

This study is situated at the intersection Special Education and Indigenous School Education. The objective is to examine how educational service for indigenous students with disabilities is organized in the state of Minas Gerais in terms of access, the nature of education services and the conditions of indigenous schools to serve this population. For this purpose, microdata from the School Census of Basic Education for the years 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020 were utilized. The findings suggest a modest increase in the number of schools, primarily at the state level. However, few schools have architectural accessibility, provide Special Education Services or possess a Multifunctional Resource Room for indigenous individuals with disabilities.
