Necropolitical education: notes on the modality of youth and adult education

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the type of education called Youth and Adults - EJA - from the conceptual perspective of necropolitics. Many works approach the theme from the criticism of the election of killable bodies, among which the black and poor population is often found. These works point to analytical possibilities of reflection about educational policies and educational practices where, in view of this situation, we will point out some questions about the treatment given to EJA and the main consequences for this educational modality and its subjects. The methodology used is of a bibliographic qualitative nature and included studies on the subject and also the analysis of some data that address the general framework of youth and adult education. As a result, we can see that, despite education having structural and historical problems in all modalities in Brazil, with regard to EJA, not only as a modality, but also the subjects in a daily way, are marked as belonging to an expendable collective. both in terms of human and capital investments.
