The Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in Brazil is marked by the absence of a government politics committed to students of this type of education. We still see in this modality today problems such as the lack of qualification of teachers, an inadequate curriculum for the modality and the lack of conditions for the students to stay in school, whether for a long working day or a decontextualized teaching. In addition, more recently, the mode of education that was previously targeted at an older students now needs to adapt to a younger, more agitated audience. These problems, among others, hinder the permanence and success of the students of the EJA. In the present work we seek to understand the main reasons for the permanence and success of the students of the EJA at the Instituto Federal de Goiás (IFG) - Câmpus Jataí, as well as to analyze the result obtained through a research with the students, the teachers and the coordinator of the course. We compared our data with those provided by the report prepared by the Institution called "Plano Estratégico de Permanência, Êxito e Combate à Evasão dos Discentes do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás - Câmpus Jataí". The analyzes demonstrated agreement between the answers obtained in the questionnaires, indicating the duration of the course as one of the important aspects that contributes to dropout
