Government Plans, Manifestos, and Appeals to Teacher Training in the Period of Bourgeois National Formation (1948-1964)

This article aims to explicate the power relations that permeated the debate on teacher education in Brazil between 1948 and 1964. It is a bibliographical and documentary study that encompassed thirteen institutional guidelines formulated during this period, among them: the propositions of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA/CEPAL) from 1948 onwards; the reflections of the Higher Institute of Brazilian Studies (Iseb), created in 1955, including Vieira Pinto’s Inaugural Lecture (1956); the Targets Program of President Juscelino Kubitschek (1958-1959); the Manifesto Once Again Called Upon (1959); interministerial commitments arising from the Meeting of Punta del Este, Uruguay (1961); the National Development Plan (1962); the Triennial Plan (1963-1965); as well as a rally and a presidential message by João Goulart to the National Congress, on March 13 and 15, 1964, respectively.
