ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EVERY YOUNG PERSON AT SCHOOL PROGRAM: IN SEARCH OF SCHOOL UNIVERSALITY IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL

This study analyzes the Every Youth at School Program, a policy implemented in the state of Rio Grande do Sul from the end of 2021 with the purpose of combating school dropout in high school in the state network. Through the granting of a monthly scholarship in the amount of R$ 150.00 to students from families that are in the Unified Registry (CadÚnico) and conditioned to school attendance, the initiative seeks to prevent vulnerable young people from dropping out of school due to lack of income. From an analysis of the budget, implementation and accountability, there are opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the program that can positively influence this and other similar initiatives.
