We note another village primary school located in Ameal, a village about 10 km west of Coimbra, in central Portugal. The photo is undated, but was probably taken un the 1950s. In this photo the children do not wear smocks or shoes. We are not sure why the children are not wearing smocks which were very common at the time. Apparently this was up to the individual school. Going barefott was also very common. Portugal in the 1950s was one of the poorest countries in Europe. It is also a coeducational class which was not common in Portugal at the time, except in small villsage schools.
