This study approaches the themes of gender and sexuality as dimensions of human development in the schoolcontext. Based on empirical research in a settlement school in Agrarian Reform area in the state of Paraná, it examined
how the issues of gender and sexuality are understood and taught as dimensions of human development in an emancipatory
perspective of an omnilateral education, in the context of the Countryside Education. Grounded on the narratives of
secondary school students, teachers, the pedagogical team and head teachers of the school, raised in the research space by
means of participant observation, interviews and discussion groups, along with the contributions of gender and sexuality studies in education and, in the specificity of the countryside, the study shows boundaries, but also opportunities for
change. Prejudice, sexism and homophobia remaining in the culture of society and the lack of teacher training become the
main obstacles for gender and sexuality to be intentionally included in the school curriculum. This situation exacerbates in
exception regimes. On the other hand, the inclusion of the school and its subjects in a counter-hegemonic struggle, gives
visibility to an emancipatory education.
