Levantamento de dados da educação de jovens e adultos no município de Três Lagoas - MS

Abstract

The present work had as general objective to know data of entrance, conclusion and evasion referring to the Education of Youth and Adults (EJA) of the municipality of Três Lagoas, located in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. The investigation was concentrated in the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. The survey showed how many municipal and state schools offer EJA; the working shift and enrollment data, graduates and dropouts. The analysis sought to contextualize the history of EJA in Brazil, its laws and regulations, in addition to addressing the Program for Accelerating Learning, a federal public policy of school attendance for young people and adults. The approach assumed a quantitative and qualitative bias and an exploratory nature. The results demonstrate the weakness of this teaching modality, especially with regard to the dropout rate. Wrongly EJA is considered a form of certification for those who did not reach schooling at the regular age, however, it is necessary to recognize it as a right not only to education, but to new knowledge and opportunities for those and those who, in some way , were excluded from the schooling process.
