Abstract

A project directed towards the development of ongoing research on the process of the teaching of reading and basic schooling for adults with little or no schooling - in the specific case, among collaborators (staff from the Total Quality program) with Cia. Nestlé de Alimentos, at 17 industrial units located in four states: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and Bahia. Making use of the principles and resources of distance learning, both for training the teachers to teach adults to read and write, as well as in attending to the primary school education, the aim was to provide an opportunity for consolidating a partnership between university and company in the sector.
