Journal Title: Prohominum - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the results of adiagnosis carried out on the training offered by the Open University for Adults (UAPA), as part of its policy of social responsibility and educational inclusion, to inmates.Its purpose: To analyze key aspects of the program's operation, in order to make improvements, meet the needs of direct beneficiaries and promote its implementation.The methods of analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive, survey and focus group techniques were used in an intentional sample of (34) participants from three penitentiary centers.Among the main results are: that there is a state of positive satisfaction with the opportunity that UAPA gives them to access higher education and have a greater chance of entering the labor market after serving their sentence. They recognize the follow-up to the situations presented to the institution by them or their families.There is satisfaction with the follow-up of academic activities in the virtual campus, the application of exams, the admission process, enrollment and payment of tuition. They positively value the attention of the facilitators and school directors, the Social Service and the Professional Practice.As opportunities for improvement, they pointed out: the need for timely feedback from the facilitators to the learning activities; that the Prison does not fully guarantee the conditions required to develop the educational activities, as they do not always pay attention to their complaints, needs or suggestions
