SILVA, Carlos Manique da. Primary school teacher’s housing in rural environment during the First Portuguese Republic (1910-1926): analysis of school projects and residences. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.3, pp.707-722.  Epub Oct 26, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n3-2020-3.

In this article, I argue that the integrative approach of the republican project sought to enhance the social role of primary school teachers, namely, in rural areas, by assigning to them (or, at least, by intending to do so) certain conditions for the development of their mission. One of these conditions had to do with housing intended for the teacher. By adopting the analytical perspective defined by Viñao (2004), I try to understand the importance attributed to the teacher’s house in some projects of schools and autonomous residences designed by the architect Raul Lino during the First Portuguese Republic (1910-1926). I conclude that the overvaluation of this space, manifested in his drawings, didn’t find a corresponding practical translation; thus evidencing the limits of the Republican reformist project, particularly in rural areas (where urgent solutions were expected).

Keywords : Teacher’s housing; Primary schools’ projects; First Portuguese Republic (1910-1926); Raul Lino; School in rural environment.
