Nowadays, many are the public policies towards quilombola’s communities, although the challenges multiply themselves in the way of evaluate them. One of those policies turns exclusively to schooling education, through the Resolution number 8, of November 20TH 2012, which establishes the National Curricular Guidelines to the Quilombola Schooling in basic education. However, this Guideline still isn’t recognized and incorporated by the city Bias Fortes – MG, neither in the pedagogic proposal nor in the Deccenial Municipal Education Plan (MEP). Therefore, the aim of this research is to understand how the The Quilombola Education in the Colônia do Paiol Community is established, the schooling and not schooling practices developed by subjects of the school and the manner by which the city executes its educational policies. Concomitantly, this research also aims to approach other transversal and inherent themes, like the matter of the historical fight for the territory of the Colônia do Paiol and how the Quilombola Education establishes itself as a way of claiming and empowering for beyond the community. It was used the Participant Search as methodology, in which the researcher and the studied social group acquire a mutual position of teaching and being taught all the time, as well as semi-structured interviews, documental analysis and subject’s orality. This research allows to conclude, during the period of time analyzed, how the community has been rethinking and problematizing the conduction of the municipal policy, becoming the protagonist in the decisions that involve its interests.
