História da educação de Roraima: o Colégio Normal Monteiro Lobato (1965-1970)

Abstract

The research aimed to conduct a study on the Normal College Monteiro Lobato 1965-1970. The institution began its operation as the Regional Normal Course Monteiro Lobato in 1949 in the city of Boa Vista / Federal Capital Territory of Rio Branco / Roraima (1943-1962/ 1962-1988). Checking the sources it allowed to know the trajectory of the institution, the school routine, the building structure, the social situation, who were students and teachers of the school unit. The study outlines the reading of the peculiarities of the region where the institution is located, which takes into account its location and its boundary of settlement. In addition, we work with the hypothesis of the intervention of the national state administration policy and of course in the education. Thus, the importance of implementing this level of education in the far north relates to the strategy to populate and develop the region. In this sense, the teaching in the early Republic was regarded by intellectuals and politicians as a synonym for civility, which led to a movement that aimed to develop a standard of civilization of the masses appropriate to republican model.
