A trajetória de Jovens e Adultos não alfabetizados: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the reasons why young people and adults stopped studying when they were children, and why they decided to seek education for young people and adults. The analysis was carried out through research carried out through the CAPES periodicals portal. This research is linked to the life history of the researchers and in this way the following research question was constructed: What are the reasons for non-literacy and the processes of exclusion in the lives of young people and adults (EJA's target audience) in Brazil? The results obtained in the research showed the causes of school dropout, with the majority demonstrating the difficulty in reconciling work and study, and that in many cases people sought to work to help support themselves at home.
