Abstract

The aim of this survey is to know the profile, the scholar trajectory and levei the reached by the egressed students of the Special Education in the State of Minas Gerais. The research was made in xhe three only State Centers of Special Education of the State, situated in Uberaba, Uberlândia and Barbacena. We have studied and analyzed these centers’ regiments, files and all documents made possible to know the school and students’ situation and principies of the scholar administration. Besides, in the three centers we have interviewed a total of 44 families selected according to the standard established to this survey. In the initial chaptprs, we have discussed the principies of the Special Education and the Braziíian legislation, turned towards the special students with special educative necessities, in the last 60 years. We have verified that within the philosophical principies that guided the Special Education in this period, the Centers’ work lies on the integration principie. As for the legislation we can affirm that few were made viable in the practice, despite of the great conquers made in law. We have verified, from the data collected and analysis made, that egressed students show the following profile: age between 11 and 36 years old, seeing that 80 /o of them are in the age group up to 20 years old; the male sex in represented by 68 %; 60% of them live in their own houses and 40% depend on rental, the familiar income has ix,1 an average of 3,16 minimum wages and the families don’t have clarity about their children diagnosis. The egressed students attendea about 4 schools; the time of retention got in average, aiound 4 years and 9 months, due to the scholarfail, the ,-eached scholar levei showed variation in the three centers. In Uberaba, it was the 4th grade; in Uberlândia, the 6th grade and in Barbacena, two students reached the 1st and 2nd high school. We have also verified that 73% of the egressed students continue inserted in the educational system, opting for two other teaching modalities. Of these, although, 90% showed disinterest in continuing the studies, face to the fails obtained. Concerning to the inserticn in the labor market the data have evinced that the students are sub-employed, bad remuneroted and not legally hired. This reality doesn’t differ from the one lived by the most Brazilian population belonging to the less favored social class.
