Evasão escolar: um estudo de caso com alunos da EJA na escola municipal João Benicio Magalhães na localidade Riacho Grande em Corrente-Pi

Abstract

Abstract: This study's main objective is to analyze the factors that contribute to the dropout rate of students enrolled in Youth and Adult Education (EJA) at the João Benício Magalhães Municipal School, located in Riacho Grande, Corrente, Piauí. The research seeks to identify the main causes of this problem and propose possible solutions to minimize it. The methodology used in this study was designed with a qualitative approach, involving semi-structured interviews with students, teachers, and school administrators. Secondary data, such as school records and educational indicators from the school and the local area, were also analyzed. School dropout, a complex and multifactorial problem, significantly affects students' life trajectories and the community's social and economic development. In the context of the João Benício Magalhães Municipal School, dropout represents a challenge to be overcome, requiring the implementation of strategic actions to ensure students remain in school. The preliminary results of the research point to a series of factors that contribute to school dropout in EJA, such as financial difficulties, the need to work, lack of family support, distance from school, academic underachievement, inadequate teaching methodologies, and a lack of pedagogical resources.
