ABSTRACT
This study aims to show some possibilities of the social-educational inclusion process, for children of the Child Labor Eradication Programme (PETI). The main bibliographic sources were: Graciani (1997); Gohn (1997); Enguita (1989); and PETI Operational
Manual (2000). The methodology used was the ethnographic qualitative research, using techniques of participating observation, interviews and analysis of documents. Even focusing on “the worst types “of child labor, PETI doesn’t modify the conditions and perspectives of its own beneficiaries. The gains obtained could characterize a modality of compensatory education. It’s possible to question if more enlarged universal policies could be more efficient. The analysis of monitor’s discourse of the broadened working day and of the teachers of regular school, shows that it’s necessary to clarify the conceptions about work and about exploitation of child-juvenile labor, the necessity of clearer criteria to select monitors for the broadened working day, improvement in structural conditions and in pedagogical resources, necessity of better publicity of the program in the school community, connection between the program and regular school, elaboration and supervision of a pedagogical proposal intended for the social-pedagogical inclusion of children in their families and school, as well as, continuous training courses for monitors and teachers.
