In order to understand the construction process of the city of Breves, in Marajó das Florestas,
as a regional development hub, focusing on the 20th century, this research presented as a central
thesis the assertion that educational experiences in primary and secondary education in the city
of Breves , between the 1940s and 1980s, were of great importance for the formation, expansion
of urban space and development of the municipality, attracting institutions, public and private
services necessary for life in the 20th century to its structure. To arrive at the confirmation of
this thesis, we started with the following problematizing questions: How were the city and
education, and education and the city historically built in the territory of Breu, in the period
from 1943 to 1985? How did the educational and sociocultural practices experienced by
residents occur in the expansion and development of urban life? How did the implementation
and/or strengthening of primary and secondary education take place in the city? From these
guiding questions, the objectives of the research were: to analyze city and education and
education and city through written, oral and visual documents, identifying historical-social
changes and continuities in the ways of living in Brevense between the 1940s and 1980s;
understand the trajectory of formation of the school group from 1943 in the city, the expansion
and consolidation of primary education and follow the emergence of secondary education in
the context of the 1960s/70s, its contributions to the expansion of the city and the visibility of
the city in the regional and state scenario in times of military regime. Based on Social and
Cultural History and dialoguing with written, oral and visual documents, the results indicate
that Breves became the main educational center of the Marajós das Florestas, from the 1960s
onwards with the implementation of the Miguel Bitar State Gym, which joined to primary
education, which began in the 1940s with the Dr. Lauro Sodré, Boarding School Evangélico
Amazonas and Colégio Santo Agostinho. They also showed that, in the education and city
movement, the city became a regional reference in several sectors, and education played a sine
qua non role, because through the training of people, multiple development possibilities were
opened for Breves to become , nowadays, an educating city.
