This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the current role of education system in helping the process of political development. The research method is descriptive and quantitative content analysis with practical approach. The research population includes textbooks in the field of educating and learning humanities as well as special objectives and programs of secondary school in the first academic year of 2020-2021. Due to the nature of the research and limitation of the statistical population, the entire research population is considered as a sample. The measurement tool was a researcher-made content analysis checklist and the research results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics indicators through SPSS software. In a summary and based on frequencies obtained from this research and data analysis, it can be concluded that: the textbooks in the field of educating and learning humanities and the goal and special curricula in terms of creating and cultivating the examined concepts and components for political development to students have been inappropriate and very weak and therefore it can be said that they do not provide the necessary ground for the political development of students. Also, studies showed that even with this minimal attention, a logical trend was not followed while distributing the components. This means that the authors of these textbooks and policymakers have not paid special or targeted attention to the issue of political development whether in terms of conceptualization or in terms of knowing the components mentioned in this study.

Modern Brazil (in the early years of the second decade of the 21st century), as the tenth biggest economy of the world and the second biggest country to attract foreign investment and also as a member of the third generation of newly industrialized countries (NICs), is treading the path of development and progress. One of the important issues in Brazil has been the relationship between economic development and political development in the past decades. This relationship has grown in importance, especially since the 1960s, when the military people gained political power through a coup d’état, and for a short time brought about an economic growth, mostly referred to as ‘the Brazilin miracle’. The uneven process of development in the late 1970s during the debt crisis, the formation of the elective, democratic government in the mid-1980s and the relatively sustainable development in the 1990s and 2000s, add considerably to the significance of the relation between political development and economic development. The present article mainly aims to study these trends and relationships analytically and historically. The main idea in this article is that the trend of the economic development of Brazil has been inconsistent and unsustainable due to lack of political development, and that a relative balance between political development and economic development would result in a more sustainable development and stability in both arenas.
