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 Amapá was created, through decree-law n. 5,812 of September 13th. The Escola Técnica do Comércio do Amapá was founded on September 13, 1949. It was a joint idea of the Associação Comercial do Amapá and some teachers. The vocational school was then implemented. The objective of this work was to show the participation of the Escola Técnica do Comércio do Amapá 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 Café, located on FAB Avenue, in Downtown, Macapá, Amapá. A further analysis based on the literature took place. The foundation of the technical school in Amapá, even using dualist principles, provided the basis for professional education in the state. The Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amapá (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.
