This text aims to understand the educational scenario in the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais, during the Vargas Era (1930-1945), and, more specifically, during the period of the Estado Novo (1937-1945). This temporal cut occurred because it was a period in which Brazil experienced Getúlio Vargas' state-regime regime, characterized by a centralizing, authoritarian and nationalist policy. To this end, it has the Lavoura e Comércio newspaper, the main uberabense periodical in circulation at the time as its source. The results indicate that the articles contained in Lavoura e Comércio are in line with the perception of education in the state government, in which that constituted an important instrument in the propagation of values based on the feeling of national unity, civic spirit, and, cult of physical exercises, both at school and outside, through the idealization of a society considered healthy from a physical and moral point of view.

Keywords : Education and civics; Vargas Era (1930-1945); Uberaba.
