Description
O texto incide sobre tema menos esclarecido na História da Educação em Portugal – o estatuto educacional da freguesia no contexto da oferta escolar. A freguesia constituiu a instância geográfica, administrativa e social de alfabetização escolar. É um estudo de micro-história, porventura de “pequena história”, mas representativo de um ciclo histórico de universalização escolar em Portugal, no final de Oitocentos. Fundamenta-se em documentos do Arquivo Municipal de Ovar e da freguesia de São Vicente de Pereira, como livros de atas, correspondências e imprensa. Recupera-se o processo de construção do prédio da escola para o sexo masculino, entre 1888 e 1892, como resultado do esforço da Junta de Paróquia e de um “brasileiro” daquela freguesia que, para esse fim, conseguiu doação de terreno e significativa quantia de amigos residentes no Brasil. Foi possível perceber parte da complexidade do processo de escolarização que se pretendia em Portugal no final do século XIX. The text focuses on a less enlightened theme in the History of Education in Portugal – the educational statute of the parish in the context of school provision. The parish constituted the geographical, administrative and social instance of school literacy. It is a study of microhistory, perhaps of “small history”, but representative of a historical cycle of school universalization in Portugal, at the end of the Eight Hundred. It is based on documents from the Ovar Municipal Archive and the parish of São Vicente de Pereira, such as minute books, correspondence and the press. The process of construction of the school building for boys is recovered between 1888 and 1892, as a result of the effort of the Parish Council and a “Brazilian” of that parish who, for this purpose, managed to obtain donate land and a significant amount of money from friends residing in Brazil. Thus, it was possible to understand part of the complexity of the schooling process that was intended in Portugal in the late nineteenth century.
