Anísio Spínola Teixeira (July 12, 1900 – March 11, 1971) was a Brazilian educator, jurist, and writer.

Teixeira was one of the reformers of Brazilian education of the early 20th century, being an advocate of progressive education in the country.

Inspired by that philosophy, Teixeira came back to Brazil, where he went to be Rio de Janeiro (then Federal District) Director of Education.

He believed that education should be public, free, and laicist, attuned to a developing industrialized society, not focusing in memorization, but allowing the student's development.

He was one of the signatories of the Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova (Pioneers for a New Education Manifesto), advocating changes in Brazilian education.

1935

He was one of the co-founders of the University of the Federal District, in 1935, and of the University of Brasília in 1960.

Teixeira was born in Caetité, in the state of Bahia, child of an influent landowner family.

Teixeira founded the Universidade do Distrito Federal in 1935, with basis on the New School tenets, which was met with a strong opposition of religious educators and sectors of the Getúlio Vargas government.

1939

Teixeira resigned of the Director of Education chair in 1939 and went back to Bahia, where he was invited by governor Octávio Mangabeira to work as State secretary of education.

There he implemented the Escola Parque (park school) in the Salvador.

1951

After the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, Teixeira left office and went to the United States, teaching at the Universities of Columbia and California.

1966

Back in Brazil in 1966, he became a consultant for the Getúlio Vargas Foundation.

1971

Anísio Teixeira died in 1971, in circumstances considered obscure.

His body was found in an elevator on Avenida Rui Barbosa, in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite the accidental death report, there are suspicions that he was a victim of the repression forces of General Emílio Garrastazu Médici's government.
