VICENTE, Magda de Abreu y AMARAL, Giana Lange do. Municipal public policies for primary education in Pelotas, RS, Brazil (1940 - 1961). Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2020, vol.45, e36332. Epub 14-Jul-2023. ISSN 1984-6444. https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644436332.
The present article evaluates the municipal policies for education in the city of Pelotas - RS, from 1940 to 1961, aiming at emphasizing the city involvement in relation both to the opening of schools and the primary education ruling. In the analysis, which is historical and documental, laws, acts, decreets, school regulations and annual reports were consulted. The investigation demonstrated that, from 1945 on, there was a significant increase in the resources for municipal public education. Funds were allocated, mainly for hiring teachers and opening isolated primary schools in the countryside. Such fact was motivated by the end of Getulio Vargas’s dictatorial government, by the creation, in 1942, of the National Fund for Primary Education and by the charges attributed to the city, from the 1946 Federal Constitution in relation to the educational financing, as well as by the political influence of the Democrat Social Party in federal, regional, and local level.
