A juvenilização da educação de jovens e adultos e a política de eja da rede estadual da Bahia

Abstract

This monograph aims to promote a discussion about young people's participation in youth and adult education, as well as their challenges and perspectives. In this sense, the main objective of this work is to discuss the process of juvenilization of youth and adult education in Brazil and the response to this question presented in the document on Youth and Adult Education Policy of the State Network of Bahia - Lifelong Learning. To do so, some steps were necessary, namely: understanding the trajectory of the EJA in Brazil; understand the juvenile process of the EJA; to know and analyze the Youth and Adult Education Policy of the Bahia State Network, giving emphasis to the proposals that the document specifically addresses for young people under 18 years old who are included in the EJA modality. In this way, we opted to adopt the methodological assumptions that can be discussed with qualitative research, with principles that guide documentary research. Regarding the adoption of theoretical assumptions, we used reflections of several authors that have their productions compatible with the proposal of this work. From this study it was possible to better understand the context related to the EJA and its importance in the construction of knowledge and the social transformation of those who make up the working class in order to guarantee their rights. In addition, it was possible to perceive how difficult it was during these years to carry out the Policies built in the perspective of promoting a real advance in the expansion of the quality of Youth and Adult Education, and to realize that the EJA Policy of Bahia, despite being a good initiative, still left many gaps, becoming oblivious in what concerns the attention to young people who are included in this modality.
