A gravidez na vida escolar de meninas adolescentes do Ensino Médio nas escolas estaduais de Boa Vista

Abstract

The occurrence of pregnancy during school years is a complex and multifaceted issue with potentially significant impacts on the educational and personal development of adolescent girls. One of the main concerns is that these young women face barriers to continuing their studies due to social stigma, lack of support and resources, or financial difficulties. The central issue lies in the high incidence of pregnant adolescents and the effects of this situation on their educational and personal trajectories, reinforcing cycles of poverty and social exclusion. This study aims to understand the circumstances that contribute to teenage pregnancy and its consequences for female students, as well as to examine the interventions promoted by schools and educational authorities. The topic holds considerable relevance for public education and health, as teenage pregnancy is linked to school dropout, the perpetuation of poverty, and social vulnerability among young women. The methodology used includes collecting quantitative data, such as the number of cases, combined with a qualitative approach and document analysis of records from the Division of School Psychosocial Development (DIPSE) within the State Department of Education of Roraima. The research adopts a documental method, with content analysis as the primary technique for interpreting the data obtained. Additionally, the study seeks to contribute to the development of more effective public policies that help mitigate the effects of teenage pregnancy. The findings indicate that this phenomenon is complex, influenced by social, economic, and educational factors. There is a clear need for integrated interventions, including sexual education in schools, family support, and access to health services, to reduce teenage pregnancy rates and promote the well-being of young women.
