PAULA, Dalvit Greiner de  e  FARIA FILHO, Luciano Mendes de. Bernardo Pereira de Vasconcelos: educate the people; guarantee independence!. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.23, e2024-41.  Epub 17-Mar-2025. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v23-e2024-41.

Bernardo Vasconcelos' actions in the First Empire (1822-1840) were fundamental in guaranteeing the independence of Brazil and consolidating its institutions. From his first steps as a parliamentary representative, he discussed and thought about education as a system that required public regulation, inspection and investment. His Study Plan became the embryo of the First Letters Schools Law, in 1827. By regulating imperial law in the province of Minas Gerais, he created the conditions for its inspection by investing in public financing of education. When looking for gaps and clues in the speech of and about Bernardo Vasconcelos, we find the politician who saw public education as the necessary engine for building the Brazilian nation. After 200 years, problems in education still present themselves to the Brazilian State.
