Educação de Jovens e Adultos na Escola Estadual Joaquim José de Medeiros entre 2016 e 2021: uma conquista em processo?

Abstract

This article offers us a challenging proposal, where the views of individuals contextualize the insistence on the search for the unknown, we aim to reflect on the modality of Youth and Adult Education as an achievement in process. For this, we took as a point of analysis the Joaquim Jose de Medeiros State School, in the municipality of Cruzeta-RN, where the EJA modality operated since 2002, extinct in 2020 amid the uncertainties correlated to the emergence of the corona-virus and the Covid-19. Among the various theorists studied, we highlight the decisive action, for adult literacy, of Paulo Freire who, already in the 1960s, broke with the objectivity of the narrated facts, proposing a popular Education, seeking an alternative to the method of educating the excluded of literate culture and society, while presenting the dominant ideologies and highlighting the existence of public policies in our country. We can conclude that even with legislation that guarantees the offer and access to the Education of Youth and Adults-EJA teaching modality, and with all the theoretical discussion arising from Paulo Freire's thinking, EJA still faces challenges for its effectiveness, it is an achievement in process
