Abstract

The rural riverside area of Manaus, in Amazonas, presents a unique sociocultural and educational context, marked by several particularities that require special attention in the implementation of the National Special Education Policy (PNEE). To fulfill the general objective of investigating obstacles in implementing the national special education policy in the rural riverside area of Manaus and proposing solutions, the specific objectives will be to analyze the infrastructure and pedagogical resources, identify types of assistance for students with special needs, investigate challenges of educators in implementing policies and proposing strategies to promote inclusive and equitable education. The study was conducted using a qualitative and later quantitative approach using questionnaires with educators and school managers. Data analysis was carried out using content analysis techniques, seeking to identify relevant patterns, trends and perspectives. The results highlighted the scarcity of resources, the lack of training of educators and difficulties in access as the main obstacles to implementing the national special education policy in the rural riverside area of Manaus. However, promising practices and recommendations for improving the quality of special education in these areas were also identified. The work concluded that implementing the national special education policy in the rural riverside area of Manaus is a complex challenge, which requires a multifaceted and collaborative approach. It is essential to invest in infrastructure, teacher training and coordination between the various actors involved to guarantee inclusive and quality education for all students, regardless of their specific needs.
