IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS IN RIO DE JANEIRO'S MUNICIPAL NETWORK

This article aims to reflect the impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic on Youth and Adult Education (EJA), in the municipal education network of Rio de Janeiro, faced with the new challenges experienced in the modality caused by the closure of schools and the realization of school activities mediated by digital technologies. This is the result of the exploratory research, conducted between May and June 2020, whose data procedure was done through interviews with five teachers of the modality and with the subgerent of the Education Management of SME-RJ. The data indicate the inconsistency of remote education for the modality, given the little relation of students with technology, low internet access, precarious housing conditions and the need of students -workers and bosses.
