RESUMO

This research project analyzes the roots and fundamentals of resourcesâ constitutional earmarking in favor of education to Brazilâs constitution, from their origins in the 1934 Constitution to their in the 1946 Constitution. In order to develop this piece of work the Annals and Journals of the Constitutional Assemblies of 1933-34 and 1946 were researched and analyzed, as well as a survey of the historical records related to the strengthening of capitalism, the corresponding need to finance education in the country and other relevant documentation. These results reveal that just as in 1933-34 so also in 1946, the main argument for the resourceâs earmarking was to combat illiteracy from the perspective of both initiating the resolution of a ânational problemâ and of defining in constitutional terms the function of federal agencies in the administration and financing of education. The most remarkable aspect lay in the fact that resourceâs earmarking was an integral part of the development process of effectively making education the absolute right of society, giving to the State full responsibility for promoting it. Such elements demonstrate that the origins of the resourceâs constitutional earmarking in favor of education lay in the 1930s, being fulfilled in the 1934 Constitution with Miguel Couto, a member of the New Education Pioneers Group, as its spokesman. After the New State Dictatorship (1937-1945) and the return to Democracy, earmarking resources for education were restored by the 1946 Constitution, with support both from political parties in power (PSD and PTB) and the opposition led by the UDN party.
