BERNARDI, Manuela Ciconetto e LUCHESE, Terciane Ângela. The literacy rate of Antônio Prado city, state of Rio Grande do Sul (1895-1920). Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2020, vol.58, n.56, e-20030. Epub 11-Ago-2021. ISSN 1981-1802. https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2020v58n56id20030.
The article aims to analyze the literacy rates in the city of Antônio Prado, state of Rio Grande do Sul, between the years 1895 and 1920. As a colony occupied by immigrants and descendants from 1886, mostly from northern Italy, Poland and other groups with less representativeness. Antônio Prado became a municipality from 1899. We used a historical documentary analysis of the set of civil marriage records surveyed in a twenty-five years period as methodology. The verification of spouses' signature in the civil matrimonial records generated data classified by sex, age, nationality and “signed / unsigned”. The sample group was 3,068 individuals. In summary, it was found that the literacy rate varied according to nationality, sex and year analyzed and, in this location, the majority signed the documents and the rate was maintained during the analyzed period, making an average of 60% of signed documents.
