The 1870s marked the birth of night schools in the province of Grão-Pará, in this movement that had been occurring throughout the various provinces of the Brazilian empire at that time, such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Santa Catarina, Bahia, Ceará and many others, in their own way, put into practice teaching to make free adults literate. In April 1871, the president of the province Joaquim Pires Machado Portella approved the regulation of public instruction, precisely, in “Art.27. For primary education for adults there will be one night school in each of the cities in the province and at least two in the capital”. The regulation of night classes stimulated a rapid search for enrollments at the Belém city council school run by Father Felix Vicente de Leão and politician João Diogo Clemente Malcher, its founders. However, it did not take long for disagreements to begin, members of the political forces formed by liberals and conservatives disputed hegemony for control of the night schools created, from 1871, in the interior of Grão-Pará – Vigia, Ponta de Pedras, Soure, Marapanim and Óbidos were some of the municipalities in which night schools were established. This historical research, using newspapers and manuscripts from the Public Archive of Pará, seeks to debate aspects of these conflicts that sometimes focused on the training of working adult students, as well as exploring the interests in controlling the night school by subjects linked to political associations in the province of Grão-Pará.
