Brazil Youth and Adult Education initiatives

Overview

Brazilian municipalities and the federal government are implementing various initiatives to support Youth and Adult Education (EJA).

At the local level, municipalities are introducing targeted measures to combat school dropout rates and expand literacy. In Nordestina, a new law established the ‘Bolsa EJA’, which provides a monthly allowance of R$ 330 to eligible students aged 15 and older. In João Pessoa, decentralized literacy programs aim to reach seniors and people with disabilities by bringing classrooms into residential neighborhoods.

Recent local developments include the EJA School Games in Teixeira de Freitas, which utilized sports competitions to promote socialization among municipal students. Additionally, in Juazeiro do Norte, elderly students who graduated from the Brasil Alfabetizado Program are transitioning into EJA classes across seven municipal schools to continue their academic progress through evening studies.

On a national level, the Ministry of Education (MEC) continues to address the long-term impacts of EJA. Through the PodMEC videocast, hosted by Zara Figueiredo, secretary of Continuing Education, Literacy of Youth and Adults, Diversity and Inclusion, experts have discussed the National Pact for the Overcoming of Illiteracy and Qualification of EJA (Pacto EJA). These discussions emphasize social mobility, the specificities of teaching diverse age groups, and the integration of technology to facilitate social inclusion.
