MIRANDA, Fernando Silveira Melo Plentz and CARMO, Jefferson Carriello do. Educational legislation for labor in Brazil: from the empire to the first republic. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.55, pp.329-343. Epub Apr 01, 2021. ISSN 2318-1982. https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v0i0.1450.
The text aims to present the first legislation on education for labor in Brazil. The focus of the analysis is on the relationship between the country’s history and the need to legislate on education for labor. The ruling classes that ruled Brazil in the past have never bothered to develop an inclusive education project; on the contrary, since the birth of Brazil as an independent nation, they have maintained an encyclopedic education for the few and labor education designed for them to the workers’ children. From the reading of the legal texts and the Brazilian history, we concluded that the genesis of the educational duality in Brazil, which extends until the 21st century, is in the process of independence of the country.
