Resumen
This paper deals with the use of education in Brazil as a historical strategy of
domination, submission and class exclusion. It has the dualism of Brazilian education
as its central point, in other words, the separation between the general formation,
designated to the elites, and the professional training, designated to the lower class. This
paper is a bibliographic research about the history of Professional Education in Brazil.
The creation of the Law 5.692/71 was established as a time limit due to the fact that it
has enabled the end or the reduction of dualism by instituting the mandatory
professionalization in high school teaching. However, despite this positive aspect, this
law, as well as other State actions throughout the XX century, has constituted an
alternative for the increase of economic productivity and for the contention of the lower
class, not representing a democratization of education. Neste artigo, abordamos o uso da educa??o, no Brasil, como estrat?gia hist?rica de
domina??o, submiss?o e exclus?o de classes. Tem, como elemento central, o dualismo
da educa??o brasileira, ou seja, a separa??o entre a forma??o geral, destinada ?s elites,
e a profissional, voltada para as camadas populares. Trata-se de uma pesquisa
bibliogr?fica sobre a hist?ria da Educa??o Profissional no Brasil. Estabelecemos como
limite temporal a cria??o da Lei 5.692/71, pelo fato desta ter possibilitado o fim ou
redu??o do dualismo ao instituir a profissionaliza??o obrigat?ria no ensino de 2? grau.
Entretanto, apesar desse aspecto positivo, essa lei, como outras a??es do Estado ao
longo do s?culo XX, constituiu-se numa alternativa para o aumento da produtividade
econ?mica e para a conten??o das camadas populares, n?o representando uma
democratiza??o do ensino.
