Abstract: Current research, based on reports and speeches of Province presidents in Brazil, between 1841 and 1852, discusses several educational aspects in the Province of Pará during the first decade of the Second Kingdom. The period is highly important since it is the time in which the Second Kingdom was established. The publication of the Provincial Law 97/1841 in the Province of Pará which regulated primary and secondary education in the Province, owing to the publication of the 1834 Amendment, triggered the organization of a proto-system in Education. However, the documents under analysis show that almost nothing changed with regard to the provided instruction. These conditions were corroborated by Gonçalves Dias in his 1852 report which was ordered by the Emperor for an analysis of schooling in the northern provinces of Brazil.

Keywords : education; Grão-Pará Province; Empire of Brazil.
