O Ensino Público Secundário além das Políticas de Urbanização: o Centro Educacional Luiz Pinto de Carvalho (1957-1977)

Abstract

This work analyzes aspects related to the Luiz Pinto de Carvalho Gymnasium since its subordination to the Ginásio da Bahia, in 1957, until 1977 when it became the Luiz Pinto de Carvalho School Complex, guiding the Gymnasium in a national context of expansion of secondary education. The main objective was to historicize some of the memories of what is one of the first public high schools in Salvador, analyzing some educational characteristics of the institution. We also sought to apprehend what represented the implementation of the Gymnasium for secondary public education in the capital of Bahia, if the state was organized for the inauguration of this type of education. The work is inserted in the historical field, privileging elements of the institution such as students, teachers, disciplinary norms, and school culture. The research is based on sources such as school documents, internal regulations, periodicals, State Official Diaries, documents located in bodies of the State Department of Education, as well as statements by alumni and former employees. As a result, we understand the establishment of the college as part of the expansion policies of secondary education, although it was also the result of demands by local residents.
