The order of president JK: primary teacher training and political interests in the creation of the Júlia Kubitschek Normal School, 1960

Abstract:

This article aims to reconstruct the history of the creation of the Escola Normal Julia Kubitschek, in 1960, the year in which the capital of Brazil was transferred from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília. Specifically, it also aimed to address public policies for the training of primary teachers, political party plots, coverage of the Rio press and the role of student parents' commissions during the process of creating the unit. The study was based on the assumptions of the new political history and the journal analysis methodology. It was concluded that there was no planning for the expansion of the Normal Course in the old capital, with political bargains, presidential interference, the interests of the press and Rio families being the central pieces that gave rise to the institution.
