The article presents the historical and political assumptions of Youth and Adult Education in Brazil. It is the results of a research in which a critical and documentary analysis about the policy and management of this type of education in the country was addressed. The history of EJA is understood, from the colonial period to the present day, from the incessant context of educational reforms. The following presents the significant policies in the main legal and official regulatory documents for the organization of this modality. Illiteracy and educational backwardness in the young and adult population have persisted in the educational history of the country and is still an impasse to be solved. The conclusion is that effective planning is needed for the implementation of educational policies aimed at EJA, which must be configured in a coherent manner, as a public policy and not only in the form of emergency and temporary programs.
