Education is a social practice that aims to promote the integral improvement of human skills, developing for this the physical skills, intellectual abilities and moral faculty of the individual, in order to promote the integration of the subject into society.

In methodological terms, the research was classified as bibliographical and documentary, of a qualitative-quantitative nature, configuring itself as a case study. As a result of the research, it was found that in the municipality of Sumé-PB, during the evaluated period (2019-2021) of the EDUCARE Program, 171 students were attended, 154 were approved, which represented an overall performance of 90.06%. Typifying by segment, the general school approval of students who complete the 6th and 7th grades in just one, in the period of analysis, corresponded to 85.39%. On the other hand, the general school approval of students who attended the 8th and 9th grades in just one, in the same period, was equivalent to 95.12%.
