Portuguese Schools: Albergaria dos Doze



Figure 1.-- This school portrait shows what looks like a small village primary school. It was taken suring World War II in 1942. The school was located at Albergaria dos Doze in central Portugal. This was not a class, but the entire school. In the class there are 35 boys and only 2 girls. The Portuguese had mostly single gender schools, even primary schools. In the villages, however, especilly small villages, there were mixed classes. This photograph suggest that many parents were not sending their girls to school. We are not sure how representative this was.
