A EXPANSÃO DO ENSINO SECUNDÁRIO NO BRASIL PÓS-1930.

In this article, we recompose historical perspectives aimed at expanding secondary education in Brazil after 1930. Nunes (1999), informs that this expansion expanded after the economic collapse of the institutions, motivated by the crash of the New York stock exchange; catastrophe of worldwide repercussion that, among other consequences, made visible the need to restructure the secondary education hitherto offered since it no longer included formal education, aimed at forming an elite that envisioned higher education. The theoretical and methodological basis addresses the works of Silva (1969), Abreu (1955), Palma Filho (2005) and Nunes (1999). We will have a close look at secondary education, developed in Rio de Janeiro, where we found that this offer was not limited to public schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
