Abstract
The Youth and Adult Education (YAE) modality was established by the Law of Guidelines and Bases for National Education (LDBEN) in 1996. YAE is intended for people over 18 years of age who have not completed elementary and secondary education and this type of education it is the opportunity for them to continue or start schooling. The objective of the study was to identify how the offer of this modality is organized in the city of Marília between 2009-2019 and to verify its characteristics, its possible advances and/or setbacks. The research had a Scientific Initiation grant from the Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo (FAPESP). The methodology uses a qualitative approach and bibliographic and documentary research. The documentary research consisted of the National Education Plan (PNE 2014-2024) and the Municipal Education Plan (PME 2015-2025) and the Statistical Synopsis of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP). As a result, we identified a mismatch between the goals established in the PME (2015-2025) and the enrollments carried out in the YAE in the studied municipality, which have been decreasing sharply between 2009-2019. We also verified in the PPP of two surveyed schools, which both bring in their Teaching Plan for YAE, repetitive content and a language aimed at children, constituting an inadequate methodology for the target audience, mostly composed of adults and elderly people above 60 years old, disregarding the life context of its students, their trajectories and experiences, contrary to what Paulo Freire proposes in his method and adult literacy for “reading the word and reading the world”.
Highlights
The problem of illiteracy in the country persists to this day, as it results from teaching aimed at the labor market, with methodologies that favor a small portion of the population
When we talk about Youth and Adult Education (YAE), it is an even more delicate situation, as we are dealing with individuals who did not have access to education at an appropriate age or had their educational process interrupted at some point in their lives and ended up facing situations such as contempt and social devaluation, having to overcome prejudices and challenges when entering other social spheres, in the labor market, for example, often remaining on the margins of society
The general objective of this work is to identify how the provision of YAE is organized in the city of Marília/SP based on the period from 2009 to 2019, being five years before the Municipal Education Plan - PME (2015-2025) and five years after its term
Summary
The problem of illiteracy in the country persists to this day, as it results from teaching aimed at the labor market, with methodologies that favor a small portion of the population (the dominant class). We must treat YAE by enabling an education that gives light to its students, promotes their emancipation through clarifications and new/other learning and knowledge, always valuing the historical subject that is in front of us, as this has knowledge acquired in their experiences in the relationship with the other. The documental research consisted of the analysis of the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) of two researched schools that offer YAE for the initial years of Elementary School in the studied city Official documents such as the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDBEN, Portuguese initials), no 9394/1996 (Brasil, 1996), National Education Plan (PNE, Portuguese initials) (2014-2024) and Municipal Education Plan (PME, Portuguese initials) of the municipality of Marília (2015-2025). Based on all the notes, we elaborate the final considerations of the work bringing the main points discussed throughout this work, followed by the references
