O que leva os jovens a permanecerem na Educação de Jovens e Adultos – EJA

Abstract

The present work has as central objective to analyze the factors that imply the evasion and permanence of students in the Education of young people and adults in School in the Municipality of Alagoa Grande/PB. The present work is based on bibliographical research and field research. The data were collected through a semi- structured questionnaire applied to twelve students, enrolled in a youth and adult education group of the night shift. Understanding the importance of the students' permanence in the EJA is to believe that this discussion is inserted in an even wider problem, which is related to school failure, needing to be understood in its essence and related to other dimensions of the school, to construct instruments of this reality. Educators who commit to Youth and Adult Education are aware of the need to seek mechanisms, methods and theories that encourage the target public not to leave the classroom, that is, the teacher is the stimulator, the mediator of their students. The EJA can be a solution to combat evasion and illiteracy, but the conditions of these establishments often do not exceed the expectations of our students who want to continue studying. Thus, this work focused on what leads these young people and adults to remain in the classroom and concluded that this modality of education needs curricular reforms and methodological articulation, so that these students have motivation to continue studying.
