The school architecture of Badajoz between 1900 and 1975

Abstract

The universalization of education that takes place throughout the twentieth century in Spain came strongly to the peripheral provinces especially from the sixties, although the process of school multiplication had been accentuated since the twenties. When democracy is established, we can say that in the capitals almost all the children were schooled and they had good teaching spaces.The historical process of change that we comment is analyzed here, studying Badajoz capital through the press and the archives, studying classrooms and school buildings. It went from the room reused in old or ramshackled houses to the modern technified palace with all the equipment. This evolution had an impact on urban planning, as new schools were built in all the neighborhoods.
