LOBATO, Sidney. EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT: TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE AMAPAENSE EDUCATIONAL POLICY (1944-2002). Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230069. Epub 22-Oct-2018. ISSN 1809-449X. https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230069.
This article analyzes and compares two educational policies carried out in Amapá State. The first one was carried out by the Janary Gentil Nunes’s government (1944-1956) and aimed to train disciplined workers able to collaborate in the generation of large marketable surpluses through the exhaustive exploitation of local natural resources. The second was carried out by the João Alberto Capiberibe’s government (1995-2002) and aimed at the dissemination of an environmental awareness that would lead the amapaenses to value both the environmental preservation and the traditional ways of life and work. The comparison between these policies showed that the education in both periods was noticed as a fundamental instrument for transforming social practices, on the point of view to improve the life quality of citizens. It has been also evident that the two governments concerned have had very different visions about regional development and, therefore, about the values to be diffused through the schools.
