Evaluation of the action plan for the covid-19 pandemic in the Education of Youth and Adults (EJA) in two public schools in the city of Espirito Santo (Rio Grande do Norte-Brazil)

Abstract

This work aimed to evaluate the action plan in the pandemic context of two public schools in Rio Grande do Norte state, discussing which form the strategies that the school community raised to maximize the teaching-learning process in EJA. Both action plans are very clear about the importance of a dynamic plan, constantly revised to serve the entire school community, both with regard to the work of teachers, as facilitating the teaching-learning process, as well as helping families with activities that will be developed at home. Strategies, methodologies, teaching tools and prospects were presented in both plans to mitigate the impacts of social isolation, however, no activity, topic or questioning in particular is raised in the documents as an active measure to work with EJA students, even these being one of the most dynamic groups in the school community. Thus, it is observed that although the school community is working effectively to minimize the impacts of the pandemic on the educational system, it is necessary to review more effectively all sectors of education, especially those that already have a high dropout history (such as EJA) to ensure that, in fact, the entire school community can best tackle the problems caused by the pandemic.
