The data that were collected through the questionnaire were obtained with three teachers who worked in the EJA of the first segment. Youth and Adult Education is a story full of projects, with many ideas, always with the intention of literacy for young people and adults who for some reason did not finish their studies or were not literate at the "right" age and who mostly need it, improve their opportunities for inclusion in the labor market, so they seek the EJA in order to raise schooling, in view that it is a way for this public to achieve a significant change in their lives. Being literate is a necessity of quilombo residents, since it has become a prerequisite for job opportunities and for them to become critical and active individuals by making their own decisions. The research was based on bibliographic studies and field research, of the case study type. The results obtained in the research show that there is a lack of training for teachers and the possible causes for school dropout, due to the difficulty of reconciling work and studies, the inadequacy of the didactic materials that are offered to the students of the EJA.
