RESUMO:

This paper aims at evaluating the impact of free of charge, regular and permanent public school transport in the academic career of high school students from countryside regions in the Professional Scientific and Technological Federal Education Network (RFEPCT), especially students from two Campus of Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). With the expansion program of the RFEPCT, started in 2008, 564 new units were inaugurated until 2014, bringing this level of education to young Brazilians from all regions of the country, previously a privilege only of those residing in large urban centers. The Program foresees the construction in polo cities, strategically selected, to cover young people from as many municipalities as possible within a 50-kilometer radius, with no distinction between states. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary, in addition to providing the physical structure of the school, to provide the means of access to education, including, among other demands, transportation on the home-school-home path. In this perspective, associated with the main objective, the following secondary objectives were proposed: i) verify the public policies related to school transportation and whether there would be a need for normative change; ii) to identify the dynamics of the student's journey in the home-school-home path and; iii) to verify the extent to which the transport conditions affect the student's performance and avoidance. For that, primary and secondary data were used and qualitative analyzes were performed, with bibliographic, documentary and content analysis techniques; with the use of descriptive statistics and econometric models of Multiple Linear Regression by the Ordinary Least Squares Method. The results pointed to a legal gap to the social right to school transportation of students of federal basic education, due to the mandatory provision of this service to all students in the mandatory stages of education, which suggests normative changes proposed in this research. The analysis of the interviews with the Campus Managers and the Municipal Secretaries of Education demonstrated the legal ignorance of the actors of this process on the subject and an attempt to equalize the conditions of access by the Campus Managers In negotiation with the prefectures of the municipalities where these students reside, which do not have a homogeneous policy on this aspect. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that there was no statistical significance between having access to the school transportation service and student performance, but they presented a correlation between distance and academic performance, according to researched literature.
