Evasão escolar: histórias de vida que se cruzam

Abstract

The completion of course work is a qualitative research on causes of truancy focused on the life story of five students that dropped out at an earlier time, but returned to a class of EJA (8 and 9 years), the Municipal Education School fundamental Manuel Paulino, in the municipality of Conde-PB. Data were constructed from two research techniques: a questionnaire to map out a socio-economic profile of these students and interviews, using a topic guide, recorded using electronic device, followed by analysis of speech in the context of Merleau Ponty. The study concludes that the causes that drove the avoidance of these students are related to teenage pregnancy and / or marriage; Work dedication; lack of transportation and encouragement from teachers, caused by strenuous methodologies and little relation to the reality of students. These data not only enabled reflections on the causes that lead the subject to evade school, especially their life stories, and other factors related to the lack of commitment of our leaders to develop public policies that address the problem. Also points an alternative to minimize the dropout problem at school.
