A cultura do trabalho e a educação plena negada

Abstract

We emphasize the movement of the Brazilian elites repeated withholding education as a means of reading and understanding the world and the emancipation of all forms of oppression. Workers in schools, dominated the standards of discipline, obligations to work and learning from the first letters. In the schools of business or professional activities predominated manual and electromechanical elements and general culture. Educational policies accompanying industrialization, create new schools and new courses, without giving up the dualism of education that follows the structure of class society and social inequality in the country. At first, we present some theoretical and methodological issues and the general context of Brazilian society where subordination to work takes precedence over education. The following are some aspects of education for children of workers in the first decades of the twentieth century.
