LIMA, Fábio Souza Correa. The Heitor Lira Normal School and the democratization of education in the suburbs of the Brazilian capital, 1950 and 1960. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e170.  Epub 07-Ago-2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-170.

This article recovers the history of Escola Normal Heitor Lira. Specifically, it also aims to address the political actions within the educational field that resulted in the increase in the number of normal schools in the suburbs of the city of Rio de Janeiro, at the time the Federal District and later, the state of Guanabara, between the 1950s and 1960s. This unit, whose name honors the creator of the Associação Brasileira de Educação, is particularly important for being an example of how public policies could or could not meet the desires of suburban families in the region for more education. In the development of the research, we used the concept of field and the methodology of analysis of journals. The study concluded that the expansion of teacher training units was guided by personal and political-partisan interests, leaving the ideals of a public, free and quality school in the background.
