O Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar no combate à evasão e abandono escolar no Brasil

Abstract

This work aims to discuss the National School Feeding Program as a mechanism to combat inequality, dropout and school dropout in Brazil. Through bibliographic research, the history of the right to food and the fight against hunger in Brazil was discussed, to then circumscribe the PNAE in this process. Then, a literature search was carried out on the causes and consequences of school dropout and dropout. The results showed that the phenomenon has ample causes and cannot be seen from a single point of view. However, the inequalities present in Brazilian society are still the main cause of dropout and abandonment, so the importance of the PNAE in combating dropout and abandonment was verified in the literature.
