The educational challenges for implementing school education are diverse and require collective effort to be understood. This study addresses some of the dilemmas that were presented in the process of implementing the pedagogy course in Santarém, a city located in the interior of the Brazilian Amazon. It brings a historical approach to the first actions of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), during the 1970s, outside the capital, where it had been implemented in the 1950s. Contextualizing the extension and educational actions of that Federal Institution of Higher Education (IFES) related to teacher training, as one of the most exciting challenges in / of the region where UFPA operates. The pedagogy course was a kind of pioneer in the interiorization of public higher education in Santarém and other places in the Region. And in the case of the city object of this study, it represents the most important historical precedent for the creation of the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA), the first federal higher education institution created outside of the capitals of the Amazon.
