A política educacional do primeiro governo Petista de São Carlos-SP (2001-2004)

The article proposes an evaluation of the educational policy implemented by the Workers Party’s first government in the municipality of São Carlos (SP), from 2001 to 2004. In that period, the Brazilian educational panorama had already been marked, since the military regime (1964-1985), by a wide range of 566 Ana Paula Rodrigues da Silva e Amarilio Ferreira Junior Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. Educ., Rio de Janeiro, v. 18, n. 68, p. 549-588, jul./set. 2010 experiences and reforms, which had as one of their more important results the universalization of the access to the obligatory education by the end of the 1990’s. With the quantitative issue solved, the biggest problem to be faced is the quality of teaching offered by the public school. In spite of São Carlos’ privileged situation, located in one of the richest areas in the country and having strong educational tradition, our research makes us conclude that the Workers Party’s first government in the city should have materialized a much more effective educational policy than the one really implemented, in order to reach the improvement on the quality of teaching offered to the population.

History of education in the Journal of the Historical and Geographic Institute of São Paulo, Brazil

Although Historical and Geographic Institutes are of great value to Brazilian historiography, only limited attempts have been made in the area of educational historiography to draw on these journals as primary sources of information about the History of Education. This article analyzes the manner the Revista do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico de São Paulo has contributed towards the History of Education in Brazil, by analyzing a selection of articles published between 1923 and 1996 by Hélio Viotti, Serafim Leite, Affonso de Carvalho, Ernesto Penteado and Ernesto de Sousa Campos. These articles are of fundamental importance for the historiography of Brazilian education because they enable us to understand the literary elite ́s opinions (represented by scholars who published articles in the Journal) on Brazilian education of the period.
