Abstract

This research is inserted in studies of Specialization in School Management of distance Postgraduate Program at the Federal University of Santa Maria/RS. Through this work we sought to understand the problem of school failure and the growing demand of students that schools of education generate to the modality of Youth and Adults Education in the city of Dois Irmãos/RS. For this investigation was used as methodology the participative research, weaving experience among the respondents and the researcher. Data collection occurred in two public schools in outlying areas, with students, teachers and managers of the modalities EJA, PROEJA and elementary school. The theoretical apparatus that has guided this monograph has been around for many scholars, including Freire (1986, 1984,1999 ), Freitag (1986), Gadotti (1985, 1988) and Paiva (2006), Paro (2001), Young (2007), Brunel (2008), Beyond the constitutional documents as the Guidelines and Bases Law 9394/96 and the Report of the National Council of Education No. 11/2000. After mapping the data we can say that there is an effort to reframe the EJA and circumvent the problem of school failure, describing the teaching in all the modalities to provide individual growth, the state of belonging to the community and its commitment to the development of society. This requires greater involvement of educational management and school management to outline the issues of school performance in the educational setting, with special attention to Youth and Adults Education.
