As percepções de jovens sobre a rede de suporte e apoio para a conclusão do ensino médio em uma escola de tempo integral

Abstract

Basic education is an essential right guaranteed by the Brazilian Federal Constitution, and the state, society, schools, and families are responsible for ensuring this right. Schools is a vital space for socialization, while families provide emotional support and values to young people, and other institutions can provide other types of support so that this segment of the population can safely develop their future projects, such as the State, the church, among others. The reform of secondary education and the creation of full-time schools aim to increase the retention of students in the school environment, but challenges such as the need to work and lack of interest in studies lead to school dropouts. In view of this, this study sought to report the perceptions of young students in the 3rd year of secondary school about their support network and support for completing basic education in a full-time school. The methodology adopted was a mixed approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative aspects, which integrated the activities developed in a university extension, in which Workshops of Activities, Dynamics and Projects and a questionnaire applied to young people were used, to identify the perceptions about the different support networks that are essential for permanence in education. It was concluded that the family was the most cited institution, indicated as the main source of emotional, financial and moral support.
