Relevance of a community care program from the perspective of its stakeholders: educational practices based on social responsibility

Abstract

Educational desertation is an educational problem that affects part of the school-age population. In order to contribute to the reduction of these problems, there are several mentoring programs in support of children and adolescents that are developed from the public university, whose main objectives are aimed at strengthening the comprehensive training and increase the educational expectations of its participants to achieve their welfare. This qualitative-phenomenological study aims to understand the perspective of mothers and fathers on the relevance of a mentoring program in the academic area; a structured interview was used to collect data. The results obtained indicate that, through a series of identified categories, mothers and fathers are able to recognize the incidence of the program in the academic area, concluding that the program is relevant to achieve favorable results in school activities.
