Analysis of infrastructure in schools located on remaining quilombo lands from 2014 to 2024

in the scale’s indicators. There is a set of immaterial guidelines rooted in history, values,
and culture that dene a dierenated concepon of educaon, arculated in schools’
Polical–Pedagogical Projects and inuencing their physical structures. From this perspec-
ve, quesons for future research emerge: Can the infrastructure scale be considered valid
for schools located in disnct contexts? Is it sucient to merely update the scale to obtain
IRT parameters that are more faithful to the EEQ context?
Consequently, pedagogical dimensions materialized through the “implementaon of
a Polical–Pedagogical Project that considers the historical, cultural, social, polical, econo-
mic, and identy-specic characteriscs of Quilombola communies” (Brasil, 2012, n. 6), as
well as teacher educaon and the access to and permanence of students with special nee-
ds, are neither perceived nor captured within assessments limited to basic and elementary
infrastructure.
In this sense, it becomes necessary to invesgate the specicies of the social organi-
zaon of remaining Quilombo communies, which, if examined, may help construct the link
idened by Jannuzzi (2017) between indicators and the concepts they represent. As a con-
nuaon of this study, we suggest combining quantave dimensions with acve listening
to the EEQ educaonal community, as this approach may provide a formal and identy-ba-
sed diagnosis that more closely reects the needs and parcularies of these populaons.
Such an approach would also enable ongoing monitoring of school instuons, facilitang
new acons aimed at improving the quality of State intervenon in EEQ educaon.
This may represent one of the paths for the Brazilian State toward “collecve awa-
reness” and eecve “accountability” (Kilomba, 2019, p. 11). In this context, it is important
to emphasize that such a scenario is not achieved solely through changes in the moral fra-
mework of society—however important these may be—but rather “when power structures
are recongured,” determining which types of knowledge are considered valid and accep-
ted, who produces them, and who is deemed entled to access them (Kilomba, 2019, p. 13).
Finally, the evidence presented in this study should contribute to overcoming the
normalizaon of discriminatory processes by making explicit that “racial conicts are also
part of instuons” and that they persist and materialize racism, as it is “an organic com-
ponent” of society. This dynamic enables the invisibility, denial, and (sub)hierarchizaon of
knowledge, existences, and presences through the structural role it plays (Almeida, 2021,
pp. 39–47).
It is therefore necessary to debate the scope of each infrastructure level within the
technological reality of the twenty-rst century: What kind of quality do the elementary
and basic levels represent in this context? What is eecvely ensured through processes of
minimal and formal permanence? What can be expected from a “neutral” and material scale
when the objecve is to guarantee physical and immaterial condions intrinsically linked
