Abstract

This report presents my difficulties and successes, as a student in formation and later as an educator, based on my experiences in a Popular Pre-Vestibular course, a free type of teaching program that prepares underprivileged people in Brazil for college entrance exams. I was a student for two years, between 2016 and 2017, and an educator from 2019 to 2023. When reflecting on my learnings, sided by popular education and social movements, I realize that, even in times of various attacks that target public education and the work with the base population, a proposal of liberating education, beyond being indispensable, is possible. The text is a dive into my memory as a student and educator. This work is linked to the following research Cabinet of Studies and Research in Curriculum Development, funded by FAPERJ, through which I develop my theoretical-practical studies.
