O projecto educativo do republicanismo: o caso português numa perspectiva comparada

Abstract

Education was understood by Republicanism, like it happened in the French Third Republic, as a central element of the regeneration project of the Portuguese society. After the political revolution, it became necessary to establish a genuine cultural revolution. To the schools, particularly ground school, it was assigned the purpose of educating the citizens needed to preserve the young Republic. That points out the importance of laity as much as patriotism which sought to generate a new consensus. Among the strategies used by republicanism, moral and civic education at school, civic festivities or military education must be emphasized.
