Abstract

The right to education for children and adolescents is one of the main achievements acquired in current legislation, in particular the right to education in institutional shelters, where the State refers children and adolescents on exceptional and provisional protective measure, and where the students of the Federal University of Paraíba carry out the project of teaching, research and extension PET/ Knowledge Connections - Youth Protagonism in Urban Peripheries, developing actions of personalized pedagogical accompaniment through educational mediation. Therefore, the present research sought as its main objective to analyze the conception of the educational mediators of the PET/Knowledge Connections program, regarding the right to education, of children and adolescents living in foster homes in the city of João Pessoa/PB. This is a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach, in which a questionnaire was applied to educational mediators, through the Google Forms Platform, asking about the right to education of these children and adolescents. The sample was composed of 9 educational mediators who participated in the Project from 2016 to 2020. The most relevant data obtained in the research show that according to the conception of educational mediators, the right to education of children and adolescents received, although, legally guaranteed, by constitutional and infraconstitutional rules, these devices still leave gaps as to their application to groups living in a state of social vulnerability, and that the actions developed by educational mediators, aimed at guaranteeing the right to education are practices quite meaningful, because they provided a change in the look of these subjects in relation to their future, their autonomy, their protagonism and their educational development. Therefore, We conclude that the theme is of utmost importance, having seen education is an important tool in promoting integral protection and overcoming the situation of social vulnerability, of children and adolescents living in foster homes, which makes it quite significant to know how the right to education has been worked by educational mediators in these houses.
