DESAFIOS PARA A PERMANÊNCIA NA ESCOLA: Evasão escolar no ensino público do município de Bayeux-PB

Abstract

The following paper deals with the school dropout phenomenon present in public education, specifically in the municipality of Bayeux-PB. The work is composed of information that outlines the development of education in our country. From the Jesuits to the First Republic, going through the advances and stagnations of the Second Republic, until the 1988 Constitution. From a brief historical review, it is possible to understand the processes of access to education, as well as its various gaps. In capitalism, social inequality is part of the functionality of the public school system. Instead of ensuring an equal education, the public school system promotes social vulnerabilities that make it difficult to enroll and to remain in school. School dropout comes from this exclusion and the selectivity of the system. This phenomenon is characterized throughout the paper based on qualitative and quantitative data, bibliographic references, and field research, which demonstrate the denial of the right to public education capable of breaking the barriers of inequality and providing children and youth the opportunity to have a quality education and the experience of being inserted into the world of employment with equal opportunity for growth.
