Abstract

Between the decades from 1960 to 1980, Brazil experienced political, economic and social change, with a project that was part of planned interventions by the state to promote growth and strengthen the country. In this context, the aim of this study was to describe the changes in the routes of the Federal Network of Ceará in Fortaleza, between 1960 and 1980 to understand the contexts that influenced the courses of vocational education at this school. In this sense, vocational education in Ceará had the Vocational Schools Federal Network, established by Decree 7,566 / 1910 by President Nilo Peçanha, as School for Craftsmen to "enable children from disadvantaged fortune." However, society has changed, no longer land to become urban, as a government project of Getúlio Vargas to stimulate domestic consumer market and promote the development of industrial production. In this context, to meet the start-ups with skilled labor, there was the need for worker training, so that it could take the jobs that arose. It was in this period that the government organized vocational education, migrating the main concern of care for abandoned children, to prepare workers for professional practice. Thus, to describe the routes of this educational institution the research work resulted in a detailed study of the documentary sources, as well as reports, books, essays, theses and texts of many authors from different theoretical contributions that made it possible to trace the professional education of this property. To this end, this work followed scientific principles and epistemological references, which allowed analyzing the information collected. Finally, by understanding the theoretical assumptions derived from social relations that underlie the transformation of the School Federal do Ceará Network, one realizes how courses and routes were changing, adapting to every political, economic and social situation of the country, out of concern for welfare services to individuals at social risk, to train professionals for professional practice.
