The article presents excerpts from ongoing doctoral research aimed at understanding how the formative process of the Degree in Rural Education (LEdoC) at the Federal University of Pará in Abaetetuba, Pará, Brazil, contributes to the self-organization of young riverside women who have graduated from this program. This research examines their involvement in various professional and community settings. In this section, we will discuss the high school education process within the Modular Education System (SOME) as experienced by LEdoC graduates. The theoretical basis was grounded in studies by Molina (2019), Alves and Almeida (2023), and Rodrigues (2016). In this qualitative study, we used semi-structured interviews as our primary instrument. We conducted interviews with a total of six young riverside residents who served as informants for the thesis. In this article, we focus on four interview samples: three participants from Abaetetuba and one from Igarapé-Miri, both located in Pará, Brazil. The results indicate that, despite the provision of SOME, the education of young women faces several challenges, particularly in areas bordering the Tocantins River region. SOME has been the primary means for the working class to access further educational opportunities, such as higher and technical education.
