Abstract
The article explores the creation and the first stage of operation of the Teachers' Assemblies of the Secondary School Council between 1949 and 1961. The assemblies were created to discuss the technical-pedagogical issues related to secondary education and advise the authorities in the decision taking process. From the analysis of the sources, it can be inferred that in the period studied, the teachers' assemblies accompanied the institutional consolidation of the Council that had been created in 1935 and expanded the role of the teachers who became a central actor in the pedagogical discussions on secondary education in a period of intense debates.
