The general objective of this research is to understand the educational reforms implemented in
High School, in two distinct periods of the History of Education in Brazil (Estado Novo and
the Contemporary moment). Its specific purposes are: to analyze, from the perspective of the
History of Comparative Education, the purposes of educational reforms; identify the main
aspects related to the organization of secondary and secondary education in different
historical times; to identify and to analyze the criticisms coming from the authors with
historiographic production on the reforms that affected this level of education in Brazil. What
were the purposes of the educational reforms of the Secondary School, which lasted from
1930 to 1945 and 2017? How were the curricular proposals of this level of education
structured from the changes undertaken by these reforms? What are the main criticisms made
by education researchers about the impacts of these reforms? A research carried out in
bibliographical and documentary sources, seized via virtual access through the use of the
Internet, covering the historical period from 1930 to 1945 and from 2016 to 2018. Whether in
the period of Getúlio Vargas or the time of Michel Temer, the supply or scarcity of secondary
education was a constituent part of official policy, since its availability was made unevenly
and helped to maintain the social and economic structure of privileges. The results indicate
that in the past as well as in the present, the school destined to the formation of intermediate
level coexists with the dilemma of having to professionalize the vast majority that enters it,
but also, to impel the continuity of the studies gradually that manage to conclude it and to
enter subsequent courses offered by higher education institutions.
