Considering the importance that education has for society and individuals, it is pertinent to highlight the relevance that educational institutions have for the integral formation of the individual. This article aims to highlight how the teaching modality, Youth Education and Adults –EJA, has been consolidated, identifying who the subjects of EJA are, presenting which laws support it and the positive impact it has on the lives of those who complete their education through this program. Through a literature review and documentary research with approach qualitative, a dialogue was established with authors such as Charlot and Durand (2011), Gouveia and Almeida (2018), Silva (2019), among others. The literature indicates that, despite advances in recent decades, many young people and adults still face significant barriers to completing their educational training. Therefore, it is crucial that public policies are formulated based on accurate diagnoses of the needs of this population.
