OLIVEIRA, Kevin Lino de  and  CHAVES JUNIOR, Sergio Roberto. The marks of secondary education expansion: Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (1942-1961). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e197.  Epub Aug 07, 2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-197.

This paper systematizes the results of investigations carried out by researchers from the Southern Region of Brazil, adding to the efforts of the project entitled “Secondary Education in Brazil from an Historical and Comparative Perspective (1942-1961)”, the general objective of which was to analyze federal, state and municipal government policies for secondary education based on a comparative perspective. The project gathered government documents, statistical data on secondary education, as well as a set of school documentation. With regard to the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, the research allows us to establish similarities (and contrasts) in the processes of secondary education expansion in those states, especially in relation to the following aspects: population growth and interiorization as vectors of the expansion of secondary education; government investments in the creation/expansion of a network of education establishments; and the actions of private and/or confessional institutions.

Keywords : Secondary education; Expansion; Southern Region.
