Análise do PROEJA no IFCE-Campus Fortaleza: possibilidades e dificuldades da institucionalização

Abstract

This thesis is part of the online Political Economy, Sociability and Education Program of the Graduation on Brazilian Education from the Federal University in Ceará, also includes the productions of the research group of the Laboratory for the Study of Labor (LABOR). We chose as the object of study the National Program for the Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in the Mode of Education of Youth and Adults on-campus IFCE Fortaleza. The PROEJA, as it is known, was set up in the first government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2006) through the decree 5478/2005, having been extended by the decree 5840/2006 with the aim to watch out also the elementary students. This program as the base document that guides its implementation, intended to rescue and reintegrate millions of youth and adults into the Brazilian school system, allowing them access to professional education in the perspective of a full training. This is a qualitative research, and having as the Case of Study approach, taking procedures such as documental analysis, literature reviews, interviews and questionnaires. It presents initially as a theoretical Marxian ontology, when the denser debate is in the field of labor relations and production in the capitalist system, trying to make a correlation with the historical background of Youth and Adults at the international and national fields. Further, relying on the theoretical and methodological thinking of Haddad and Di Pierro (2000) is based on the historical process of Education for Youth and Adults, which offered subsidies in order to understand the historical relationships derived from a rescued project from the educational process at this level. Another important point with regard to the theoretical framework is the conceptual debate on permanent education we brought to the scene from Edgar Fourie (1970), comparing with the existing debates in Brazil. By way of considerations, through the results brought forth by research, we advocate that the basic education as a means of habituation of the worker, and the particular form, PROEJA has a significant influence on the relationship of the education process of young people and adults. However, it is noteworthy that in the historical context to the poor, disqualified working people, the program takes the form only for social conditions to facilitate the access to the goods consumers that the capital produces. However, there is an urgent need to rethink the implementation of the program to enable its alignment with the guidelines set forth in its guiding document, effectively creating conditions for the realization of an educational activity aimed at human emancipation, not just the reproduction of relations of the capitalists productions.
