This research analyzed the General Inspector of Public Instruction role, Joaquim Ignacio Silveira da Mota, including his trajectory, the role and relationship between the inspector with the Government and education, evidencing his influence in the construction process of the public education in Paraná. This research was based on the practice of scholarship over two years (2012-2014), which has evidenced the field of the educational province as important for the development of public education in the Paraná Province and, consequently, a Fertile field for studies. The cut defined part of the year 1854, when the Paraná Province emancipated itself from the São Paulo Province and began to legislate about its public education until the year 1871, in which there was a new reform in public education that introduced changes in the educational process. The research included reports, laws, decrees, among other documents of the period, considered as primary sources, in addition to make use of bibliographic materials, research already done that deal with the subject, among others. The text is organized in four chapters, in which we seek to construct an overview of how education was organized in the Paraná Province, based on the relations between the subjects of the period and the context of the time. We pointed out that education was in the midst of political strife, but it was not the central object of the dispute. For this reason, the teaching inspectors played a role of intermediary between the thinking of the presidents and the teachers. When we defined the inspectors played an intermediate role, we understood they exercised the function of intellectuals, since they influenced and modified the education of the period. Among the inspectors, we highlight the positions of Silveira da Mota, an intellectual linked to the conservative group that produced and disseminated several ideas that modified the educational scenario in Paraná. In analyzing their positions, we highlight the reflections on punishment, in defense of compulsory education, in the need for better working conditions for teachers, in addition to improvements in teacher training, and in schools, emphasizing the need for adequate homes, furniture and utensils necessary for the good preparation of the classes. The inspector also played an important role in the inspection questions, instituting changes in the legislation, in order to supervise what the teacher was teaching. It advocated a strict supervision of private education, since the freedom of education would cause the risk of these schools linked to this system to teach immoral precepts for students. Among other aspects analyzed in his speeches, which lead us to infer that Silveira da Mota was concerned with the diffusion of public education in the Province, promoting significant changes on the organization of the Paraná educational field. Thus, we consider that he gave a legacy to education, acting as an intellectual promoter and diffuser of the public school.
