CONTROL AND SUPERVISION OF PRIMARY EDUCATION IN THE FIRST REPUBLIC

THE INSPECTION OF ISOLATED SCHOOLS IN THE INTERIOR OF PARÁ (1891-1905)

Authors

Abstract

This article analyzes school inspection as a dimension of the State's system of control and supervision of public education between 1891 and 1905. This historical research utilizes sources such as regulations, inspectors' reports, and messages from governors. These documents were collected from the Public Archives of the State of Pará (APEP) and the Arthur Vianna Public Library (CENTUR). To better understand inspection as a mechanism of State control over public education, we employed Michel Foucault's (2014) concept of “power”. The research findings indicate that the educational inspection service, conceived as a control strategy, underwent significant changes, becoming a fundamental part of the "new society’s" establishment in Pará.
