THE DIFFICULTIES FOR THE ENTRY AND PERMANENCE OF STUDENTS IN YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION - EJA

Abstract

EJA consists of a teaching modality aimed at serving the public of young people and adults, which has contributed to the reduction of illiteracy and to the increase in the number of qualified workers inserted in the labor market. In this context, we chose as an objective to identify and understand the difficulties faced by young people and adults to enter and remain in school. Thus, we carried out a bibliographic and field research at the Municipal School of Elementary Education Deputado Humberto Lucena, located in the city of Pirpirituba – PB. To obtain data on the subject, we used questionnaires and interview scripts, the former being intended for teachers and the manager and the latter for students. Thus, several reasons that hinder the entry and permanence of young people and adults in school were verified, such as: tiredness, family concerns, low self-esteem, feelings of inferiority, shame, lack of family incentive. Thus, we can affirm that it is necessary to have unity among all those who make up the school body, in order to guarantee the entry and permanence of these students in school, and requires that the teacher meets the reality of this student, organizing himself in his didactic procedures, and encouraging students to feel pleasure when studying.
