Corporate Social Responsibility with Child Education in the Sertão Pernambucano: The Case of Agrodan

Data published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - OECD (2021), which took as a reference the Integrated System of Financial Administration of the Federal Government - SIAFI, indicate that, unlike the other members of the group, Brazil has reduced its investment in education among the years 2019 and 2020 (MEC, 2021). As if the particular way in which education has been administered in Brazil were not enough, the effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a disease caused by the coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2), negatively marked the history of national education. Against this movement, the school teacher Olindina Roriz Dantas, implemented by AGRODAN in Pernambuco, has been standing out as an example of responsibility and social commitment in the field of irrigated fruit, recognized as a national leader in mango exports. Socializing the ideals that made this teaching unit an example to be followed was the challenge of this study, which demonstrates that it is possible to reconcile successful business practices with social commitment to the inclusive and sustainable development of a region located in the Brazilian semi-arid region.
