Desafios da inclusão de jovens e adultos com deficiência na escola regular

Abstract

Youth and Adult Education is made up of a vulnerable group that is at risk of social, economic and labor exclusion, and in the case of people with disabilities this risk of exclusion is even greater. The inclusion of students with disabilities in mainstream education has been one of the main points of discussion in the educational sphere. This issue is all the more relevant when it comes to the education of young people and adults with disabilities because it deals with the problem of equal opportunities. Therefore, thinking about the education of young people and adults means prioritizing the construction of a fairer and more equal society that seeks to serve everyone without discrimination. This paper aims to understand the challenges of inclusive education for young people and adults with disabilities in the mainstream school system. To this end, a qualitative literature review was carried out, looking for articles in Portuguese from 2018 to 2023. In this way, it is hoped to promote reflection on the challenges that EJA students with disabilities face in regular public school education.
