Abstract

Despite advances after sixteen years of the enactment of Law 10,639/03, research indicates that the religions of African matrices still face discriminatory and disrespectful attitudes in the Brazilian school universe, characterizing a prejudice about the entire religious universe contained in black culture. And the high school space integrated with professional education, in the Federal Institutes, is inserted in this scenario. The central objective of this study sought to reflect on the importance of Afro-Brazilian education and African culture in the context of professional and technological education as an instrument of cultural insertion and combating religious intolerance and to investigate whether an educational institution, of this educational modality, inserts in its Institutional Development Plan and in the Pedagogical Project of Technical Courses Integrated to High School the precepts of Law 10,639/03 regarding the promotion of ethnic-racial, cultural and cultural and Religious. The discussions undertaken have been moving towards ascertaining whether the Afro-Brazilian religious theme is present in the guiding school documents of professional and technological education and being discussed as an important issue to establish practices of an education that contemplate stake the Ethnic-Cultural Diversity of Brazil and to meet what the Law 10,639/03 advocates. As for the methodological procedures of the work, an exploratory, bibliographic and documentary study was erected, with a qualitative approach. The detailed study of institutional documents was carried out through Content Analysis. The results of the research showed that the African and Afro-Brazilian theme proposed by Law 10,639/03 did not present itself properly contemplated in professional and technological education, evidencing a negligence in compliance with legal regulations, compromising the educational excellence proposed by the Federal Institutes. The research concluded that the institutional documents that guide the organizational and pedagogical actions of the Fluminense Federal Institute do not act as instruments capable of promoting religious tolerance, compromising the humanistic and professional formation of its students and rethinking about the problem of ethnic-racial, cultural and religious intolerance.
