The article aims to provoke a reflection about the French educational system, which was based on the principle of equality. This principle, when applied in a universalist and abstract way, comes to be considered a system of domination and acculturation, as well as failing to enable the formation of an identity. In the case of Guyana, the discussions go beyond race and racism. We used qualitative research, semi-structured interviews and observation in data collection. The research revealed that this principle applied in an abstract way makes discussions about rights, race and racism unfeasible, in addition to producing social inequalities. In the educational system, it plays a dual control role: that of maintaining social order and the “civilizing” role that suppresses black identities, while favoring French cultural hegemony.
KEYWORDS: Education; Guyane; Principle of Equality; Racism.
