SILVA, Letícia Sousa Campos da. THE STUDENT INSPECTORS OF COLÉGIO PEDRO II IN ITS EARLY YEARS (1837-1857). Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.59, pp.432-447.  Epub July 19, 2021. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2020.v29.n59.p432-447.

For many authors, the creation of Colégio Pedro II (CPII) was an innovative experience in the 19th century. Two trends emerge in the historiography of this institution: the emphasis on its students and teachers, as if they had been the only subjects inside the college; and the use of a document - the Historical Memory of the College of Pedro II (Memória Histórica do Colégio de Pedro II - MHCPII) - without critical content review. In this article, I discuss the possibility of investigating the situation of CPII student inspectors between 1837, the date of foundation of the school, and 1857, the year in which it was divided into two educational establishments. After presenting a brief overview of studies about the school, I analyze how these professionals are represented at MHCPII. Subsequently, I compare this information with data extracted from other sources, such as legal provisions, the Almanak Laemmert, and material exchanged between rectors of CPII and representatives of the Empire. I conclude by showing omissions in the MHCPII on the working conditions of inspectors, and the tensions arising therefrom.

Keywords : Colégio Pedro II; Historical Memory of Colégio Pedro II; Student inspectors.
