O direito à educação enquanto garantia de emancipação humana para adolescentes e jovens privados de liberdade

Abstract

Thinking about the right to education as a possibility of human emancipation for adolescents and young people deprived of freedom is not a simple task in a contemporary society marked by globalization and exclusion, where market forces have incessantly transformed the spheres of production and consumption, producing various forms of segregation and influencing the subjectivity of these subjects, still ontologically insecure about the constitution of social being. At this point, it is important to emphasize that the failure to guarantee the permanence of young people in school is one of the first violations of the rights of this population. Thus, this article intends to discuss the role of the State in defining and structuring social public policies, since such policies have a founding role in human development and in the search for minimum conditions of a dignified life for these subjects. It is clarified that the subjects of this study are composed of adolescents and youths in fulfillment of a socio-educational measure of internment in the Centers of Socio-education of Paraná. It was possible to point out, from the data collected, that the educational practices dispensed to these subjects still happen in a very precarious context, because the government has relegated little attention and priority to the socio-educational system.
