Abstract

We analyze the secondary education in Portugal since the reform of 1905 and during the First Republic based on the journal O Instituto, published by the scientific and literary society Institute of Coimbra (IC), with emphasis on the study of Physics and Chemistry. We discuss some articles of IC members, such as Bernardino Machado, Adolfo Coelho and Costa Lobo, who played active roles in some of the reforms implemented. We highlight the relations between Portugal and Spain, in particular the article by Rubén Landa, a Spanish teacher, commissioned in 1918 to study the secondary education in Portugal. His visit was the result of another study, requested by the Spanish government, on the Portuguese public education, conducted in 1914 by the Portuguese Alice Pestana, a teacher in the Instituición Libré de Enseñanza (ILE) in Madrid. The two studies praised the Portuguese secondary education. However, very few pupils attended these schools.
