Youth and Adult Education (EJA) is a teaching modality aimed at young people and
adults who did not have access to education in the conventional school at the
appropriate age and who were somehow excluded from the schooling process. In
this sense, the present work has as its theme the systematic mapping of EJA
subjects in the State of Tocantins and it seeks to objectively understand how this
process takes place. Specifically, it is intended to know the historical landmarks of
Youth and Adult Education in Tocantins, understand EJA in the State, identify the
organizational structure of schools that serve this type of education, map programs
and projects aimed at training teachers of the same and to present specific data
about the subjects of the EJA. Methodologically, the work is based on carrying out a
bibliographic research of an exploratory and descriptive nature, where it was
analyzed through books, articles and some official documents that govern Education
in Brazil regarding such an approach in order to analyze the teaching and learning of
Youth and Adult Education modality in the State of Tocantins, following the example
of studies by Paulo Freire, Alves (1996), Brazil (2000), Cortez (2001), Soares (2002),
Araújo (2010) among others. From the bibliographic survey carried out, it is
concluded that Youth and Adult Education in Tocantins is quite primary, as is the
State itself, but that a primordial work is carried out with the aim of strengthening this
type of education, and promoting its diffusion. But it should be noted that there is still
a lot to be done, many young people and adults have not yet had the opportunity to
return to the classroom and complete their studies, there is a lack of investment in
teacher training, decent salaries, didactic material, access programs and
permanence of these subjects in school, and above all, there must be a rupture of
the prejudice that still prevails with regard to this type of education.
