Letramento literário na educação de jovens e adultos: desafios e conquistas no processo de formação de leitores em São Félix do Xingu

Abstract

This research analyzes the current educational situation of Youth and Adult Education in São Félix do Xingu. What are EJA's current challenges? To answer this question, the General objective is: Analyze the educational reality of EJA in São Félix do Xingu. The study was developed from bibliographical research. A qualitative approach was used through bibliographic reviews using the knowledge of Freire (1987- 1992-1996-2000), Magda Soares (2003-2004-2006), Cosson (2009 -2014), as well as official documents such as LDBEN - Law 9,394/96. The research result shows that, despite the concern since the beginning of the 20th century, with the eradication of illiteracy in the country, there is still a large portion of the Brazilian population that is illiterate, and consequently they end up socially excluded. Youth and adult education is facing old and new challenges to improve its quality as a whole; among these challenges is the training of teachers and the creation of specific public policies that meet this type of teaching, since EJA, as an educational modality serves student-workers and must aim at the commitment to human training and access to general culture, in this sense, it provides the student with the development of his intelectual and moral autonomy.
