This article discusses the national territorialization of Education in Brazilian rural areas. The focus here is on the implementation of a Degree in Rural Education (LEDoC), especially in Federal Institutions of Superior Education (IFES). This paper is looking for the understanding of the national policy of expansion and territorialization of these courses by reflecting on actions and implementation of programs in this kind of Education from the protagonism of social movements and the national territorialization of the Teaching Degree in Rural Education (LEDoC). The privileged source of research is the Superior Education Census, published in 2017 by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research (INEP). The process of constitution of actions and programs in Education in rural areas was historicized, highlighting the effects of the national policy of expansion of LEDoC in Southeast Pará, where the first Brazilian Faculty of Rural Education, linked to the Federal University of the South and Southeast of Pará (UNIFESSPA), was created. Nationally, this faculty has the largest number of students enrolled in the course. Data from 40 courses, run by 27 Federal Institutions of Superior Education (IFES), distributed between capitals and cities in the interior of 17 Brazilian states, plus the Federal District, had been analyzed.
