Financiamento e matrícula na educação de jovens e adultos em Goiás: evolução ou desmonte?

Abstract

In recent history, Brazil has experienced a period of dismantling and neglect of public social, science and education policies. In this context, Youth and Adult Education (EJA) may also have been impacted. The aim of this study is to evaluate the recent evolution of the value per student and the number of EJA enrollments in basic education and integrated technical education in the state of Goiás. The descriptive research was carried out using secondary data and evaluated the following variables related to the EJA: nominal and inflation-adjusted annual value per student; enrollment in basic education; enrollment in technical integrated to high school; and percentage of EJA enrollment in technical education. The results indicate that the value per student has remained close to inflation, although this does not necessarily imply an increase in investment. The decrease in enrollment in basic education and technical education integrated with secondary education is noticeable.
