A escolarização dos surdos inseridos no mercado de trabalho no município de Itabaiana/Sergipe : desafios e expectativas de avanços profissionais

Abstract

The present study addressed the historical path of education for the deaf from antiquity to the present day, this being the starting point for understanding the educational process, which these individuals went through, with their struggles, difficulties, expectations of advancement and achievements. In the course of this study, we mentioned the laws and decrees that guarantee the deaf accessibility rights, to an inclusive education, whose objective is to match their specificities, and consequently, that allows them to enter the job market in an equal way before other listeners. This research aims to investigate the schooling process of a group with (05) five deaf people who work in a wholesale company, in the municipality of Itabaiana/Se, and try to elucidate whether the positions held by them are related to their level of education. In this work, qualitative research was adopted as a methodology, through the application of a questionnaire with the deaf, and interviews with their respective families. After analyzing the information, we found that the deaf people surveyed are in educational backwardness, and that they do not show any prospect of returning to the classroom, due to the lack of an inclusive education that addresses their needs. And in the professional field, we observed that these individuals entered the labor market through the quota law, thus confirming the guarantee of rights guaranteed under the law, but that leaves concerns about why they are unable to exercise equal positions to listeners.
