Educação Profissional e Educação de Jovens e Adultos na Rede Federal: de um entrelace histórico a uma ação contemporânea.

The National Program for Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education, in the Youth and Adult Education Modality (Proeja), ended up being an ensemble of Professional and Technological Education (EPT) with Youth and Adult Education (EJA). To understand Proeja, it is essential that we know EJA and EPT beforehand. This research aims to understand the itineraries of the three teaching modalities in the Federal Network, trying to visualize points of convergence and divergence, as well as understand the nuances of Proeja. For that, we chose the dialectical method, with a qualitative approach, with an exploratory character of the investigated phenomenon. Data collection took place through a literature review and document analysis. At the time, we found that both EJA and EPT have histories of marginalization, but the second, when entering a new institution, had the consequences of the process mitigated, while the first remained on the margins of educational policies. Finally, it was found that Proeja is a reflection of these two realities and, therefore, brings with it the historical burden of the former and the latter, and it was also implemented without the necessary planning, which we suggest may have corroborated the program's discontinuity process in the Federal Network.
