[en] &lt;p&gt;Historically, work relationships play a role in the establishment of social and productive relationships. At school, for example, education for physical and intellectual work was different. Manual education was intended for physical work and so-called propaedeutic education for purely intellectual work. In 1943, the Federal Territory of Amap&aacute; was created, through decree-law n. 5,812 of September 13th. The Escola T&eacute;cnica do Com&eacute;rcio do Amap&aacute; was founded on September 13, 1949. It was a joint idea of the Associa&ccedil;&atilde;o Comercial do Amap&aacute; and some teachers. The vocational school was then implemented. The objective of this work was to show the participation of the Escola T&eacute;cnica do Com&eacute;rcio do Amap&aacute; in the history of Professional and Technological Education (EPT)[6] in the state. A documentary search was carried out in the state archives of the Escola Gabriel de Almeida Caf&eacute;, located on FAB Avenue, in Downtown, Macap&aacute;, Amap&aacute;. A further analysis based on the literature took place. The foundation of the technical school in Amap&aacute;, even using dualist principles, provided the basis for professional education in the state. The Instituto Federal de Educa&ccedil;&atilde;o, Ci&ecirc;ncia e Tecnologia do Amap&aacute; (IFAP) is part of a national network that used these schools as a foundation. However, by offering technical and technological education to highly trained students and with access to the less affluent population, it collaborates a lot in reducing educational duality and, therefore, in reducing the Brazilian social difference.&lt;/p&gt;

[pt] &lt;p&gt;As rela&ccedil;&otilde;es de trabalho, historicamente, t&ecirc;m papel no estabelecimento das rela&ccedil;&otilde;es sociais e produtivas. Na escola, por exemplo, as educa&ccedil;&otilde;es para trabalhos f&iacute;sicos e intelectuais eram distintas. A educa&ccedil;&atilde;o manual se destinava a trabalhos f&iacute;sicos e a educa&ccedil;&atilde;o denominada proped&ecirc;utica a trabalhos puramente intelectuais. Em 1943 foi criado o Territ&oacute;rio Federal do Amap&aacute;, atrav&eacute;s do decreto-lei n. 5.812 de 13 de setembro. A Escola T&eacute;cnica do Com&eacute;rcio do Amap&aacute; foi fundada em 13 de setembro de 1949. Foi uma ideia conjunta da Associa&ccedil;&atilde;o Comercial do Amap&aacute; e de alguns docentes. Implementou-se ent&atilde;o a escola profissional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi mostrar a participa&ccedil;&atilde;o da Escola T&eacute;cnica do Com&eacute;rcio do Amap&aacute; na hist&oacute;ria da Educa&ccedil;&atilde;o Profissional e Tecnol&oacute;gica (EPT) no estado. Foi realizada uma busca documental nos arquivos estaduais da Escola Gabriel de Almeida Caf&eacute;, avenida FAB, Bairro centro, cidade de Macap&aacute;, estado do Amap&aacute;. Ocorreu uma an&aacute;lise posterior baseada na literatura. A funda&ccedil;&atilde;o da escola t&eacute;cnica do Amap&aacute;, mesmo utilizando princ&iacute;pios dualistas, fundamentou a base para a educa&ccedil;&atilde;o profissional no estado. O Instituto Federal de Educa&ccedil;&atilde;o, Ci&ecirc;ncia e Tecnologia do Amap&aacute; (IFAP) comp&otilde;e uma rede nacional que utilizou essas escolas como fundamenta&ccedil;&atilde;o. No entanto, ao oferecer ensino t&eacute;cnico e tecnol&oacute;gico com discentes altamente capacitados e com acesso a camada menos abastada da popula&ccedil;&atilde;o, colabora muito na diminui&ccedil;&atilde;o da dualidade educacional e, portanto, com a diminui&ccedil;&atilde;o da diferen&ccedil;a social brasileira.&lt;/p&gt;
