AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES HISTÓRICAS DE PAULO FREIRE NO QUE SE REFERE AO DIREITO DO ADULTO À EDUCAÇÃO E O SEU MÉTODO DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO.

This text deals with the life trajectory of the educator Paulo Freire, explains his story, not only as a social man, as he is known, but as a human being and educator, based on a bibliographical review made around the story of his life, based on the studies by Sergio Haddad (2019); Moacir Gadotti (2004) and in Freire's own works. This study is part of a Professional Master's Degree in Education research, which investigates the students of a University education course that passed in their school trajectories through Educação de Jovens e Adultos - EJA (Youth and Adult Education). For this study to be carried out, the theoretical foundation of Paulo Freire's concepts was fundamental, which aroused our interest not only in understanding the concepts themselves, but also in knowing their story, getting closer to the life of this popular educator who was dedicated to excluded, oppressed and illiterate.
