Resumo

This study aimed to identify, within academic literature, the factors contributing to school leaving in Youth and Adult Education (EJA in Portuguese). To achieve this, a survey was conducted in the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), using the descriptor “REASONS FOR SCHOOL LEAVING IN EJA” in titles and abstracts. The findings from 22 studies reveal that the factors contributing to school leaving in EJA are linked to two major categories: social issues—such as employment, family dynamics, lack of family support, motherhood, marriage, the need to choose between working and studying (with a tendency to prioritize work), early entry into the labor market, mobility challenges, and the physical and emotional toll of work; and school-related factors—such as inadequate pedagogical practices, absence of specific teaching materials, and a disconnect between the school curriculum and students’ lived realities. It is argued that EJA must be reconfigured through public policies that address the specificities and unique circumstances of the individuals who turn to this educational modality. These individuals, having had their access to education denied or interrupted by various factors, once again face social, economic, and cultural challenges in their efforts to continue their studies.
