A relação entre Educação e Desenvolvimento
constituiu a temática deste artigo, que, através da análise documental
das Cartas Educativas dos nove concelhos da Beira Interior Norte –
NUT III, perscruta as representações, tendências e tensões patentes
nas propostas apresentadas. Uma ideia sobressaiu: a premência dos
problemas faz com que a ação municipal se situe entre o
estabelecimento de patamares de sobrevivência e a implementação de
estratégias com vista à garantia da estabilidade mínima para o
futuro.
Enunciámos uma das principais tensões em duas palavras-chave
do título: sobrevivência e estratégia. Estamos perante uma situação
em que os problemas do território, em boa verdade, já não dependem
da ação dos seus intervenientes diretos, limitando-se estes,
frequentemente, a menorizar e a resolver pontualmente situações de
pré rutura ou rutura, especialmente a variável demográfica.
Consideramos, no entanto, que só através de políticas de âmbito mais
global (políticas nacionais, locais e transnacionais, nomeadamente da
União Europeia), que valorizem estes territórios do Interior,
conjugando serviços públicos de apoio, valorizando as relações de
proximidade e descriminando positivamente estes espaços, se
conseguirá inverter estas tendências, resolvendo simultaneamente
dois problemas: o do Interior com um ‘repovoamento’ e melhoria dos
seus apports competitivos e o do Litoral que enferma de uma
excessiva concentração populacional, ficando assim menos
congestionado e de mais fácil gestão. É neste contexto que poderemos encarar a atuação dos municípios na área educativa: por um lado,
procuram garantir os níveis mínimos de sobrevivência dos serviços
destinados aos seus munícipes, e, por outro, intentam arquitetar
estratégias que permitam visualizar uma ‘janela de esperança’ para
inverter o rumo dos acontecimentos.
The connection between Development and Education is the thematic of this article which presents an analysis of the Educational Charters’ of the nine municipalities from the North of Beira Interior – NUT III, aiming to investigate the representations, tensions and trends from the proposals presented in these documents. An idea stands out: the urgency of the problems makes the municipal action be located between the setting of survival and the implement of strategies ensuring the minimum stability for the future. The main tensions were defined in two keywords which are part of the title: survival and strategy. We are facing a situation where land problems are indeed no longer dependent on its direct interveners who frequently only but lessen and solve pre-disruptive or disruptive situations, (especially the demographic ones). However, we consider that only through more global policies (local, national and foreign policies, namely from EU) that value these inland territories together with supportive public services, praising the close relationships and positively discriminating these areas, one will manage to reverse these trends and simultaneously, solve both problems: the Interior, by a ‘repopulation’ and improvement of its competitive apports and the Coastland that suffers from an excessive concentration of people, being therefore less crowded and more manageable. Within this context, we will consider the action of the municipalities in the educational field: on the one hand, they seek to guaranty the minimum surviving levels of their citizens’ services, and on the other hand, to scheme strategies that let them envision a ‘window of hope’ to reverse the course of events.
