Um olhar sobre a educação de jovens e adultos - EJA, motivos de abandono: expectativas na rede pública de ensino municipal de Água Branca – AL

Abstract

EJA spaces are made up of young people, adults and the elderly. Thus, this study aimed to describe the subject of Youth and Adult Education, the causes and reasons that influenced their permanence in the first and second segment stages. For this, we carried out a quantitative research in the public network of Youth and Adult Education in the municipality of Água Branca - AL, from which thirteen (13) classes of first and second segment were investigated, in the rural and urban areas. With which, we used the questionnaire as a data collection instrument, which covered questions about the factors that cause the evasion of these individuals, being applied with one hundred and seventy-four (174) respondents, which corroborated in obtaining the results. Thus, through these data we analyze the phenomena that lead to the continuation of students in the teaching spaces of this modality. Where, in fact, the interruption of continuing to study is associated with elements such as: work, family, disinterest in school, illness, pregnancy, failure, frequency, among others. These points significantly affect the lives of these subjects, causing them to interfere early in an academic life stage. In this sense, Youth and Adult Education - EJA reveals the predominant heterogeneity of the individual historically marked by values, social, political and cultural, and that conditionally social inequality is a factor that intrinsically causes the student to leave the teaching process.
