The curriculum in high school integrated to professional development in EJA: an initial discussion

This article aims to discuss about the Young and Adults Education (EJA) under the focus of the curriculum of the program of Integration of the Basic Education with the Professional Education in the form of Young and Adults Education (PROEJA), established by the decree number 5.840/2006 and offered in the Federal Institute of Ceara in 2007. The discussions are focused on the analysis of the pedagogical project of the technical courses integrated in Telecommunications, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, seeking a relationship of this document with the legal landmarks of the program cited before, namely, The Base Document of PROEJA, the National Catalogue of Technical Courses, as well as theoretical writings related to EJA, to professional education and to High School. From the readings and research, among other findings, it is concluded that although the curriculum prescribed in the legal field and present in the pedagogical project analysed refers to EJA and PROEJA, according to the legal bases which support them, it is still far from its realization in the real plan, due to the need to support actions linked to lifelong formation of teachers, to the creation of specific pedagogical material and to school reorganization, among others.
