O Programa de Educação Integrada (PEI) do Mobral no sertão alagoano: a história narrada pelos sujeitos "anônimos"

Abstract

This dissertation aims to comprehend, through the memories of “sertanejo” subjects, how the continuity of schooling implemented by Mobral/Integrated Education Program (PEI) contributed or not to the construction of possibilities of school permanence. This study focus on one of the sertão of Alagoas, specifically in the city of Santana do Ipanema, from 1973 to 1985 – time of creation and extinction of the Program, respectively, and itis inserted in the context of studies being carried out by the Multidisciplinary Research Group on Youth and Adult Education (Multieja) about the history of Adult and Youth and Adult Education (EDA/EJA) in the State of Alagoas. It asks about the following problematization: To what extent has Mobral's Integrated Education Program (PEI), as a possibility of continuity of schooling, contributed to the permanence in school of “sertanejo” subjects? In the attempt to "answer" this question and "achieve" the proposed goal, we rely on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of oral history, having as a data collection technique the interviews on the present topic, which are constituted of oral data, emphasizing memorial narratives, in addition to documents belonging to local official agencies and the digital collection of the Center of Reference and Memory of Popular Education and Youth and Adult Education (Cremeja) of the Rio de Janeiro State University (Uerj). The subjects' narratives revealed that the PEI allowed the continuity of schooling, but did not guarantee the permanence in other school levels – the post-permanence–, and that the construction of the study paths challenged an unfair social order, which sought to conform and naturalize them to the sertão reality.
