Profile of boarding students in federal professional agricultural education maintained by the Ministry of Agriculture in Sergipe (1934 - 1967)

Abstract:

This article is a historical approach about the socioeconomic situation of boarding students assisted by the institution of agricultural professional education, maintained by the Ministry of Agriculture in the state of Sergipe, in the period between 1934 and 1967. The historiographical operation was made by separating, collecting and turning the collected information into historical documents. Different sources were managed, such as reports, books, photographic images, legislation, newspapers and memoirs reports. The research, receiving contributions of works about the history of agricultural education, sought to understand the boarding school as a significant mark of agricultural education. During the researched period, especially from the 1930's to the mid 1950's, there is evidence about a duality of roles played by the institution: the agricultural professional education and the welfare through free public boarding school.
