Políticas de EJA EPT no Brasil: ascensão, estagnação e silenciamento

This study presents the movement and offer of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) policy integrated with Professional and Technological Education (EPT) in the Federal Network of Professional and Technological Education, in the Brazilian context, from its institution to the present day. Three distinct movements were analyzed: ascension, stagnation and silencing, producing data through documentary analysis, and, as a systematization, this text was elaborated, with the dialectical analysis as its theoretical-methodological orientation. It was assumed that the EJA EPT policy, built in this space-time as a context of “dialectic of disputes”, now advances and expands the offer, allowing access to the excluded strata of society, it now goes backwards to meet the interests of Capital. Thus, in addition to analyzing the supply and growth of the Federal Network, there was also the influence of the National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment - PRONATEC, which started to be offered as of 2011, in the EJA EPT policy. The results point out the difficulty of maintaining the integral formation in EJA EPT, considering the neoliberal characteristics in course.
