O TRABALHADOR - ALUNO DO RIOEJA: REALIDADE E ILUSÃO.

Abstract

The program Educação para Jovens e Adultos (EJA) acquires space in the educational system, since it is organized in defense of those who had their rights to education taken off from the period of their regular lives. It is in this context that I analyze the process of formation of the consensus on the view of education that was guiding the quality of education of adult and youth people offered by RioEja, showing the reality and illusion of a working population, besides discussing the interference in the work relations of these students. For this, it is necessary to know a little of this program and its process throughout history. A theoretical reference was proposed as the dialectical method that is linked to a reality, world and life conception. Accordingly, this research problem is: does the education provided by the project RioEJA to employees of Rio Verde, meets the needs and expectations of employees/ students? Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the employee student of RioEja in the perspective of reality and illusion. The specific objectives are: to investigate who the students/employees are, what they are seeking at the project, what their social origin is, what their education is, what their expectations are when they join the project, their plans for the future, and whether the education provided by the project RioEja meets the expectations and perspectives of working students. This was a qualitative bibliographic research. The field research was conducted at the school where the last group of the project RioEja was attending classes. As our object of study were people who were in constant motion, we used different methodological procedures such as documentary analysis of law resolutions, guidelines, from the project RioEja - questionnaires interviews with students from the project and interviews with the coordinators of the project. Twenty-five questionnaires and 9 interviews were applied. In conclusion, we observe that there is a struggle for survival both in childhood as in adulthood. According to the research conducted, working remains being the obstacle for many students to school, and working students returned to school in search for a better job, believing that after completing their studies they will get a good job or a better position at work. We also conclude that it is left for us thinking about how to organize the school to meet the specific specificity of students who work towards the growing changes that the educational system and the job market have been going through.
