Abstract

ALVARENGA, Marcia Soares de  and  SANTOS, Cintya Roberta. EJA graduates in higher education and UERJ's quota policy: between challenges and potentials. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2020, vol.14, e71460.  Epub Apr 20, 2022. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v14i0.71460.

Produced in the context of the 10 years of implementation of the Quota Policy for access to undergraduate courses at state universities in the State of Rio de Janeiro and in the 30 years of the promulgation of the Brazilian Constitution in 1988, the aim of the article is to analyze the interrelationship between the EJA (Education for Young Adults) Programme and the Quota Policy at FFP/UERJ, with the participation of quota students who joined UERJ in 2016. The research methodology was based on data collected from institutional sources through registration summaries of the university systems and semi- structured questionnaires directed to, and filled in by, quota holders graduating from EJA. The outcomes of the research point out that the number of graduates from EJA who are admitted at university through the quota system is reduced, which makes us question, dialectically, about the challenges faced by the socio- economic background of the graduates and the power of the quotas for the democratization of the university.

Keywords : EJA graduates; Quota Policy; Right to Education; Higher Education.
