Description
Summary:The development of the Normal Schools of the primary teachers in Spain took place at the same time of the drafting of the different laws which built our educational system. The foundation of such an academic centre to train the graduates to be teachers in the province of Badajoz, basically rural and illiterate, tried to fulfill the liberal aspiration of raising happiness and therefore contributed to the material well-being of all citizens.<br />This research arises as a result of the analysis of the first historical stage (1844-1849) of the Normal Schools of primary teachers of Badajoz, which seeks to evaluate its social and educational value in a moment where teachers were needed to run the primary schools of Spain and, in particular, the schools which were scattered all over this province of the region of Extremadura. In the same way, it will verify how it had to face several uncertainties as an institution which started its academic journey.
