BAZZO, Vera Lúcia. The Higher Education Institutes yesterday and today. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2004, n.23, pp.267-283. ISSN 0104-4060.

This study analyzes the teacher education policies that have been based on the new National Education Law (LDB) and its subsequent regulations, specifically those that refer to the creation and recreation of Higher Education Institutes, comparing them whenever possible with the historical precedents that may be at their origin, or even, and contradictorily, have served as a model and inspiration for them. The educational reforms in the past decade in Brazil according to the LDB Law 9394/96, as those which have taken place in other Latin American countries, sought to conform the educational system to the productive restructuring and to the new directions of the State in a full process of globalization under a neoliberal mold. In this context, the education of teachers is a central and strategic issue for the government. Public policy administrators have produced many new regulations for the sector. Based on these norms, Resolution CNE 01/99, and on art. 62 of Law 9394/96, the Higher Education Institutes arose or were recreated. This study analyzes the concept of teacher education that these institutes serve within the history of Education and more specifically the history of Educational Institutes created in the 1930s as a reference. The paper will compare the similarities and differences in these Institutes and the different contexts, in which they arose, as well as their objectives and proposals.
