Resumen:
This study aims to analyze teachers' perceptions about teenage pregnancy and school dropout
in the city of Sumé. The specific objectives are: to identify the most common causes of
pregnancy in adolescence; understand the teachers' perception of the importance of the family
health team in school as a collaborator of the theme in question; to analyze the teachers'
perception of the importance of the family in the approach to the subject in question and to
understand in the view of the teachers the main consequences of school dropout due to
teenage pregnancy. For that, semi-structured interviews were conducted with school educators
in the city of Sumé-PB. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed from the
thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin. It is therefore a qualitative study, which seeks
to deepen the material investigated. This study showed that teachers understand that teenage
pregnancy interferes with school dropouts as well as school and partnership with the health
team need to be better prepared to be able to better orient the issue in question. The analysis
of the interviews allowed to verify, also, in the view of the educators, that the lack of
orientation of the parents towards their children interferes in the orientation within the school.
Therefore, it is considered necessary to work together with the parents or guardians of these
adolescents, school management and family health team, so that both can clarify these issues
that involve teenage pregnancy. It is important to highlight the importance of themes such as
the one investigated here, in order to consider the possibility of intervention programs to be
implemented in schools, thus developing projects that cover all areas of knowledge.
