This article reaches the Brazilian educational debate in the context of the 1950’s, with the intention of establishing landmarks for the discussion of the financing for education in the country. It focuses the debate between the public and private in education, in the period of the elaboration of LDB 4.024/1961, as well as the interpretation of the advances of both positions in the text of the law when of its promulgation. Led by a reconstructive-analytical methodology, the study has consolidated itself from documental research, submitted to the procedure of theme analysis. It exposes the arguments used in the debate pre-LDB between the defenders of private and public schools; showing and dealing also with the conquests of both projects, incorporated to the body of the law. It concludes that: a) public as well as private were benefited with LDB 4.024/1961, however b) centering the debate on people and not on technical and/or intellectual positionings, took away from its main focus: the responsibility about financing for education.

Keywords : LDB 4.024/1961; Public vs Private; Financing for education.
