| Sumario: | These article shows the results of a research, whose problem is in the intersection of classical problems of sociology of education and urban sociology. Aiming to understand if and how socio-spatial inequalities impact on schooling inequalities, we analyzed the way certain social and urban characteristics of a territory structure the strategies and families’ school choices. In order to do so, we examined two sub-regions in the Barreiro area, situated in Belo Horizonte, that present socioeconomic and urban contrasts. Starting from the notion of geography of opportunities, we compared the strategies used and school choices made by families that lived in these two areas, aiming to identify how the socio-economic characteristics of the environment constrained or favored their schooling preferences. The results indicated an effect of the unequal distribution of school opportunities on the parental choices, derived from the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of local school offer. |
