Abstract

This work was developed with the central objective of knowing and understanding the difficulties faced in schooling young people in the village of Cajuru do Cervo, in the Municipality of Lavras-MG and surroundings, as well as the conditions that can contribute to overcoming them. Specifically, we sought to: (1) Know which jobs and with which other jobs and means of income the families of students in the village under study support their lives (2) Understand and investigate histories of school dropout and school success stories. (3) Identify the school factors that lead rural adolescents to drop out of school, in order to understand how they can train today and prepare young people with possible life options for the rural environment. (4) Investigate the role of the family in the school life of young people.

With the development of this work, it is better to study the culture that exists in this village to study than to study, and to study for the rich. There are young people who are unmotivated and who feel inferior, who are not capable
