Luta pela instrução e disputas políticas em Portugal na segunda metade do século XIX: a escola para meninas na freguesia de São Vicente de Pereira, Município de Ovar. Sarmiento: Revista Galego-Portuguesa de Historia da Educación, 23, 51-69. https://doi.org/10.17979/srgphe.2019.23.0.5878http://hdl.handle.net/10451/46748Neste estudo aborda-se o processo de criação de uma escola para o género feminino, na freguesia de Pereira do concelho de Ovar, oferecida por um empresário local. O benemérito era o empresário João Rodrigues de Oliveira Santos, regressado do Brasil e dono de uma fábrica de chapéus, naquela freguesia. O processo teve início em 1873, mas arrastouse por vários anos, envolvendo autoridades municipais e nacionais. O combate ao analfabetismo, em Portugal, envolvia esforços das autoridades políticas, mas mereceu o contributo de entidades e individualidades civis, abrindo escolas. A criação de escolas estava regulamentada e obedecia a um conjunto de princípios e requisitos formais, que haviam sido consignados por Portaria de 1866, quando da aceitação e execução do legado Conde Ferreira. No caso, em estudo, observa-se uma controvérsia entre os intervenientes, que assumiu contornos de disputa entre facções políticas, nos planos local e estatal, como comprovam fontes oficiosas e depoimentos da imprensa local.This study looks at the process of creating a school for female pupils in the parish of Pereira in the municipality of Ovar under the patronage of a local businessman. The benefactor was the local businessman João Rodrigues de Oliveira Santos, a hat factory owner returned from Brazil. The process began in 1873, but was held up for several years, with local and national authorities drawn into the debate. The fight against illiteracy in Portugal was led by the efforts of the political authorities, but received vital support from civil society organisations and individuals who opened new schools across the country. The creation of schools was regulated and subject to a set of principles and formal requirements introduced under the Ordinance of 1866, when the Conde Ferreira legacy was accepted and executed. This study examines the political controversy surrounding the attempt to open a school for girls in Pereira, as chronicled by unofficial sources and the local press of the time.This study looks at the process of creating a school for female pupils in the parish of Pereira in the municipality of Ovar under the patronage of a local businessman.
