To this end, we set the following objectives: to outline a critical analysis of the history of the EJA in the Brazilian context; to list the data collected in the minutes of the Joaquim Braz Pereira School (EJBP), Elementary School II in the last 20 years (2000-2019) and, finally, to make considerations about the actions of the municipal management of the EJA.

Even facing the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this research demonstrated that the whole process of juvenilization that occurred in the EJA comprises a phenomenon that permeates historical moments, conjunctures, with strong influences of what we can call local social conditions that we can highlight: demand, housing, income and work.
