This work analyzes educational policies for the Teachers' education concerning Children Education and Elementary School Early Grades, inserted in the organization of the Brazilian educational system at secondary school level. It is based on the understanding of the productive restructuration process, of the change in the world of work as well as of the state role reconfiguration interconnected to education, in order to apprehend, in this context, the policies for the teachers education at secondary school level developed in the State of Paraná, between 1996 and 2006. It analyzes the orientations from LDB (Brazilian Education Guidelines) 9394/96 and from Unesco documents, such as Jomtien Declaration (1990) and Dakar (2000), in accordance with this project. It is a bibliographical and documentary research, in which, by means of the content analysis of documents, a critical dialogue is established based on works by Tanuri (2000), Miguel (2007), Saviani (2005) and Harvey (1993). The results show that, in the course of history, between policies for the permanence or extinction of the referred course, this teaching modality resists to pressures and, in Paraná, although built up on a historical materialist epistemological basis, it makes explicit Unesco's international orientations and accomplishes a dual role in the teachers education as well as in the consolidation of Brazilian education.
