Based on the challenges posed to Youth and Adult Education (EJA) by the covid-19 pandemic, the article brings the effects of the health crisis on the lives of workers in Basic Education and its repercussions on curricular policies directed to this type of teaching as problems to be analyzed. Its purposes revolve around reflecting on the dimension and scope of these impacts, especially regarding the discourses that guide educational decisions concerning remote activities and curricular policies both in the pandemic context and in the post-pandemic period. As a methodological basis, the study mobilizes data related to the pandemic and education in this context provided by universities, research institutes and educational bodies, as well as the post-2016 legislation responsible for important consequences for EJA. The conclusions exposed warn of the complexity and seriousness of the current situation by assuming possible threats to EJA in its project of guaranteeing the right to socially referenced education for youth, adults and the elderly of the popular classes.
