Educação na pandemia: vírus da exclusão digital infecta estudantes da rede pública na periferia de Maceió

Abstract

This paper brings the results obtained in the elaboration of the final paper — a report entitled: Education in the Pandemic: The digital exclusion virus infects students from the public school network in the poor communities of Maceió. The report seeks to present the panorama of education in the public school network of Maceió, within the pandemic context, where the internet becomes even more essential in school teaching. For its production were used bibliographic searches, surveys of materials published on official websites related to the subject and interviews with parents and students. The Cartilha do Cenário da Exclusão Escolar no Brasil, written by the United Nations Fund - UNICEF, was also thoroughly analyzed. The general objective was achieved with the elaboration of the report, bringing to light the reality that these students find themselves and showing that the students' withdrawal had the most diverse reasons. The survey also reveals that 124,000 young people were left without access to education across the state of Alagoas in 2020. Through this paper, it will be possible to inspire the community and the competent bodies to reflect and debate about the moment we are going through in relation to the world pandemic of COVID19 and how it will affect children and young people in the future. It is undoubtedly an old social problem that has resurfaced and screams for resolution. If the classrooms remain empty as they are, there will be a setback that will take years to be reversed. It is the journalist's primary duty to exercise his social function to bring improvements to society. To expand minorities' speeches and promote equal rights for all will always be the great mission.
