THE CREATION OF SCHOOLS AS AN EDUCATIONAL POLICY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF VITÓRIA DE CONQUISTA, UNTIL THE AGE OF 1945

Abstract

This text discusses the creation of schools as an educational policy carried out in the municipality of Vitória da Conquista, from the beginning of the 19th century to the year 1945, and the changes that have occurred in local education as a result of this, supported by the theoretical/methodological contributions proposed by French New History. It is known that historiography has long considered that the realities created by the action of man, over space and time, cannot be analyzed only from its globalizing aspects, but also from its particularities and singularities manifested in your micro-space. Such a posture allows the opening of new interpretative frontiers, in order to promote other ways for research in the field of History, especially in the History of Education. It is the clipping of a doctoral research that investigated public policies oriented towards the ordering of education in the city of Conquista in different dimensions: from the projects of creation of schools to the organization of teaching. In this perspective, the research did not fail to recognize the municipality as a political-administrative entity with its own life, however, articulated with the political and educational actions at the state / national level inherent to the federative state model.
