Abstract:
In this article, we analyzed the tactics made in the city of Vera Cruz - Pindahybas to allow the permanence of primary school after the Law 281, as of 1899, and the Maria Estephania de Macedo’s work as a teacher from 1901 to 1909. We analyzed many aspects about teaching, and all school process established on Maria Estephania de Macedo’s administration, which was fundamental to the schools at that local. For elaborating this study we used Minas Gerais’ laws, government reports, among other sources. To work with those sources, we used Michel de Certeau’s strategies concepts and tactics, to comprehend local tactics that helped with primary schools’ maintenance, and to analyze political strategies used to suppress rural schools in Minas Gerais.
