Brazilian Military Schools System
The Brazilian Military Schools System (SCMB) is a brazilian public school system subordinated to the Brazilian Army, administrated by the Directory of Preparatory and Welfare Education (DEPA). It is composed of 15 military schools distributed trough 12 of the 27 brazilian Federal Units. The system's purpose is to aid the children of military personnel who have been recently transferred inside the country, also admitting the children of Military Police officers and the children of civilians, but only trough an entrance test.
History
Foundation
The idea of a brazilian military school had been proposed by many important figures in the history of the army, such as Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, the Duke of Caxias[1], but it only became a reality in 1889, in an imperial decree written by Tomás Coelho and signed by Pedro II[2]. During the imperial era it was named the Imperial Military School, later being changed to Military School of Rio de Janeiro, being the first school of the system.
