Educational Practices and Policies

This study intends to understand a phenom- enon of educative indigence in the circu's children, in primary school. Their schooling is irregular, interrupted and based on suc- cessive and painful relation's reconstruction, leading to the school precocious drop-out. The investigation methodology is dual: quali- tative and quantitative. The target-popula- tion groups the owners of all the Portuguese circuses (18/2008), his artists with children in the primary school, these children, and their teachers, in schools that received itinerant pu- pils, in the Region of Lisbon.
