Abstract

The following study brings forward the Youth and Adult Education Program’s path and achievements as a teaching method from the Basic Education defined by the Brazilian Education Law (Lei das Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional - LDB 9.394/96). For that, it was brought to attention how the Youth and Adult Education Program was organized based on public politics and its supporting laws.

Therefore, basing on the achievements related to the right to education granted by the 1988’s Constitution and by the Brazilian Education Law, there was a reconfiguration of the Youth and Adult Education Program as a teaching method, reinforced by the LDB articles 37 and 38. Thus, thinking about the Youth and Adult Education Program is not thinking only about schooling, but recognizing its path where the youth and adults become subjects of this process. The theorist Paulo Freire being the forerunner of literacy through folk education which seeks the social transformation of these people.
