Experience in Public Partnerships in the Execution of Programs and Formation of Educators in Eja Policies in Elementary School in the Municipality of Araraquara

Abstract

The Brazilian Constitution of 1988, regulated by the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law (Law 9394/96), guarantees the right to those who have not had access or continuity of studies in elementary and high school, at their own age. The city of Araraquara, in the state of São Paulo, since 2001, has been developing a "Sister Edith" adult literacy program (Neja), a specific municipal school for EJA, based on the analysis of the notes made in the monitoring and collection of data from the data Classes in the EJA classes, in the first half of 2014, carried out by local UNESP scholars, accompanied by a historic survey of this program, a bibliographic research, as well as the legislation relevant to EJA. The historical process of implementing this program in the municipality of Araraquara were found. It also offers us subsidies to evaluate the advances, with the evolution of enrollment, concentration of search for age/ series and region of the city, dropout rates and school approval, among others, as well as the main obstacles, such as heterogeneity of the clientele. The factors that motivate the demand for EJA are currently different from those who traditionally sought them because of not having access to their own age. There are people who seek him for the new demands of the labor market as well as young people who meet an alternative penalty under assisted freedom.
