GOUVEA, Fernando. O primeiro decênio da Capes: uma campanha extraordinária (1951-1960). R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2010, vol.91, n.229, pp.528-542. ISSN 2176-6681.

This article analyzes the first decade of existence of the Campaign for the Improvement of Higher Level Personnel (Capes), covering the period of 1951 to 1960. It places the institution within the federal state apparatus in a historical context marked by the national-developmentalist model. To achieve this goal, reports, correspondence, legal documents and presidential messages were jointly analyzed, articulated under the sign of the use of strategies and tactics by collective-individuals. These actors built an institutional network that led Capes to a central role in the education policy-making process within the Ministry of Education. This centrality has resulted in the attempt to build a national system of graduate school whose legacy has to be examined in the present.

Palabras clave : Capes; Inep; History of Brazilian Education; 1951-1960.
