Young female students and the public High school in the context of the pandemic

Abstract

Part of a master's research, in progress, in this article we propose to study the relationship of studies of young female students with high school in the context of a pandemic. We question how this relationship took place, starting from the hypothesis that the condition of gender affects it in a unique way, based on a feminist perspective. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six 2nd and 3rd year high school students from a public school in a city in Minas Gerais. It’s developed by the following categories: School and remote study; The female condition and the relationship with school in the pandemic; Future Project and the school. We identified a greater responsibility of girls in relation to domestic work, which had a strong impact on the relationship with studies in this period. In turn, sociability appears as a central component of the positive relationship they establish with the school and was strongly affected by the pandemic.
