A educação na Baixada Maranhense: 1822/1889

o presente trabalho visou acompanhar o processo educacional da Baixada Maranhense, na época imp~ rial, ressaltando as relações existentes entre a educaçã~ tanto sistematizada quanto assistematizada e os sistemas político e econômico vigorantes. o estudo procurou compreender a influência da educação no crescimento e posterior declínio da re gião. Os dados econômicos foram analisados,co~ siderada a função exportadora da região que, como conseqUência do próprio sistema, dividiu a atividade rural em grande lavoura e lavoura de subsistência, ambas dependentes dos interesses maiores do mercado externo. Os fatos históricos demonstraram a relaçao existente entre o enriquecimento dos fazendeiros e as lideranças políticas, locais e provinciais. Mostraram ta~ bém que essas lideranças atuaram especialmente na conservação do status social daquela nobreza rural e não no di- - recionamento da política econômica a ponto de alterarem o curso do processo, uma vez que o mesmo foi determinado de fora para dentro. Foi demonstrada como a influência externa, principalmente nas relações econômicas, se estendeu à educação, tornando-a um ensino estático e sem criatividade. Observou-se que as soluções emanadas pelo Governo se localizaram a nível dos fenômenos,sem nunca terem atingido as raízes dos problemas educacionais e,por isso, não permitiram que a educação tivesse maior influên cia no destino da sociedade estudada.
