245 REM: R. Esc. Minas, Ouro Preto, 67(3), jul. sep. | 2014

Some time ago, I read an article published in the newspaper “O Estado de São Paulo” entitled ‘We are going to transform public education in the Country’, written by the executive Jair Ribeiro. In his irst paragraph, he writes: “it might be an old say-ing, but it does not cost anything to repeat it: our greatest challenge is to improve the quality of basic education.”

Maybe the author did know, but about 138 years ago, Henrique Gorceix, founder of the School of Mines of Ouro Preto, had already detected the problem. It was his constant preoccupation while he was in Brazil, in such a deplorable situation did he ind the primary and secondary education. He said: “Without primary education, there is no secondary education, and without secondary education, there is no superior educa-tion, and without superior educaeduca-tion, Brazil will not have engineers or useful men to the Country.

“Gorceix even proposed to give classes to the teachers, but unfortunately the teachers refused them.

Today, history repeats itself, and we hope that Gorceix achieves his dream, since the deplorable situation already threatens our best universities, due to politics that place all of the emphasis on superior education without any plans for improving the basic education.

Li, há tempos, um artigo publicado no jornal O Estado de São Paulo, intitulado “Nós vamos transformar a educação pública do País” de autoria do empresário Jair Ribeiro. Em seu primeiro parágrafo, ele escreve: "pode até ter virado um repisado clichê, mas não custa repetir: o nosso maior desaio é melhorar a qualidade da edu-cação básica."

Talvez o autor não saiba, mas há cerca de 138 anos, Gorceix, fundador da Escola de Minas, já detectara o problema, pois era sua preocupação permanente, enquanto esteve no Brasil, a situação deplorável em que se encontravam os ensinos primário e secundário. Dizia ele: "Sem ensino primário não há ensino secundário, sem o secundário não há o superior e sem o superior não terá o Brasil engenheiros nem homens úteis ao país".

Gorceix chegou a propor dar aulas aos professores e professoras, mas, infeliz-mente, houve a recusa dos mesmos.

Hoje a história se repete e vamos torcer para que o empresário atinja seu obje-tivo, pois a situação deplorável já ameaça nossas melhores universidades, devido ao empenho político de colocar todos no ensino superior e não ter nenhum planejamen-to para a educação básica.
