PORCARO, Rosa Cristina. Thirty-two years of history of the young and adults education in the Federal University of Viçosa: the NEAD as a space of teacher training. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.1, pp.42-55. Epub Mar 30, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n1-2020-5.
This article presents a study about the history of Youth and Adult Education at the Federal University of Viçosa. In the 1980s, the Association of Administrative Servants of the UFV claimed a space for staff literacy. This claim was met in 1987, initiating an Adult Literacy Project. This project has become a nucleus, serves the youth, adults and elderly of the community of Viçosa, and is a space for teacher training for graduates of the UFV. It is called the Adult Education Center (NEAd) and ten trainees a year, based on the Freirean assumptions. In an analysis of the work, a question arises about the meaning of NEAd's existence within this Institution. In order to answer this questioning, a qualitative research was carried out, establishing as central objective the rescue of NEAd's history, based on a documentary analysis of the TCCs developed on this and of the Nucleus archives.
