IMPLICAÇÕES DO COVID-19 NO DIREITO À EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA NA EMEIEF PROFESSOR JOÃO GADELHA DE OLIVEIRA FILHO

Abstract

Children with disabilities are entitled to the unavailable right to education. The Federal Constitution of 1988 provides for education as a right for all and guarantees specialized educational services to students with disabilities, preferably in the regular school system. This work was carried out with the purpose of researching how a municipal public school has been implementing the constitutional right to inclusive education for students with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. To contain the spread of the coronavirus, classroom classes were suspended and schools closed. In order to guarantee the continuity of the school year, Resolutions were published by the National Council of Education and by the Municipal Councils, guiding the adoption of remote education by schools as an alternative to serving students in different types of education, including Special Education. The general objective is to analyze the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the right to inclusive education of students with disabilities in that school. Legal support is sought for the realization of this fundamental right in Brazilian constitutional and infra- constitutional legislation. To carry out the work, the bibliographic research technique was used through books, scientific articles and legislation relevant to the subject, and field research in a kindergarten and elementary school of the Municipal Education Network of João Pessoa.
