Evasão em turmas de educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This study aims to investigate evasion in classes of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) of a School of the State Network, in the city of João Pessoa, Paraiba. The main objective is to analyze the causes of evasion in EJA classes. The theoretical reference used included the contributions of authors such as Paulo Freire, Moacir Gadotti, Claudio Saltini, Paulo Meksenas, among others, since many authors contribute to understand the movement of permanence and evasion in space school. As methodological procedures, field observations and structured questionnaire application were carried out for teachers and students of this teaching modality. In analyzing the data, it was possible to identify that school dropout is an aspect that is present in the educators' perception and education, and that it needs to be much more discussed in the school actions, since it must be treated more effectively and participatory. The data also revealed that many students drop out of school because they can not divide the time between work and school because they are forced to work for their own and the family's sustenance, they are often discouraged by the poor quality of teaching and the tiredness of the routine daily.
