This article aims to foster reflection on the qualification of basic education teachers in the light of discussions on ethnic-racial relations, the legal framework on such issues, and research on possibilities to build school curricula and antiracist teacher training. The theoretical and methodological approach chosen to build such reflection is theoretically based on the sociological concepts of “race” and “structural racism”; it was methodologically constituted through bibliographical research on education and ethnic-racial relations as well as documentary analysis of the legislation on the matter. It can be concluded that the body or work researched demonstrates that the qualification of teachers on the issue of ethnic-racial relations calls for a theoretically honed outlook toward the recognition of structural racism in schools, able to favor anti-racist pedagogical practices which may contribute to the betterment of society as more democratic.
