This article presents the results of a research into international financing of World Bank (BIRD) and Interamerican Bank (BID) for elementary and secondary education, in Paraná, during the 80's and 90's, when three governors from Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB) were in the head of the State, from 1983 until 1994. It is possible to notice that the first govern (1983-1986) refers and readdresses, according to democratic or communitarian priorities, projects that were financed by external resources (BID), and negotiated by Federal Government. This article also examines, on the second and third governments (1987-1990 and 1991-1994) the negotiation process and the content of educational projects that were negotiated directly by the State Government and the Banks. The reasons that carried those two governs to the external financing can be mainly explained by the economical problems inherited from past military governs, and by the social areas public resources consequently reduction, besides others reasons as the conception of education as workforce training. What is possible to notice is that the loans, particularly for Paraná, were important addressers to the progressive adjust of educational policies, which, in the 80's, tried to contemplate a good quality public school for the majority of the population, to the BIRD policy, that contemplates economical rationality. However, we can not assert, because historical limitations, that there was a clear comprehension, in that specific historical moment (1983-1990), by the side of govern agents (technicians and authorities), of addressing degree of educational policy that were result of the loans counterpart. The hypothesis that can be considered is the one of the plain adhesion (identification) of govern (technicians and authorities), that succeed the past ones to the Banks' directives.
