To this end, it takes as object the perceptions of kindergarten and elementary school teachers regarding training opportunities related to racial themes, as well as to the work developed in their educational systems concerning race relations. The teachers’ opinions were collected through questionnaires applied to 3316 professionals and their answers were later analyzed. The conclusions reinforce the need to offer continuing training to childhood teachers, the expansion of monitoring mechanisms and evaluating educational policy related to racial issues in basic education.
