Os principais desafios da educação de jovens e adultos no Brasil

Abstract

This work analyzes the main challenges faced in the Education of Young Adults (EJA) in Brazil, highlighting the reconciliation between work and studies, the challenges of teaching, and the specificities of the students. Through a bibliographic survey, common difficulties encountered by EJA students were identified, who often need to balance professional responsibilities with their educational aspirations, in addition to having a history of social marginalization. The research also reveals the insufficient training of educators, who lack specific qualifications to address the peculiarities of this modality. Therefore, it is essential that higher education institutions include disciplines related to EJA in their curricula and that public policies are strengthened to ensure quality education, recognizing EJA as a priority. The study concludes that continuous dialogue among the various parties involved in education is imperative for the success of EJA and the gradual overcoming of its challenges.
