MADRID, AN EDUCATIONAL CITY. Recently, I can attend a cultural event at Municipal History Museum of Madrid where a brightened exhibition is celebrated. It is focused in a brief but significant period of history of Spain, which surrounds from 1898 to 1938, highlighting profound curricular reforms in this area. The route is organized in three pillars by chronological order: Firstly, in incipient period about last decades of nineteen century, when thousands of innovative schools were planeated and constructed. This new type of teaching, “graduated school”, was based in educate to students of same age while ancient “unitary schools”, mix scholars of different educative levels. Secondly, other epoch can be dated circa twenties and starting of thirties decades, whereby a new generation of intellectuals and teachers had a profound impact on development of renewal educational politics, remarking prominent figures as Giner de los Ríos or Sidonio Pintado. Next period were last years of thirties decades, which are marked by Spanish Civil War, characterized by destruction of innumerable schools by bombs launched by National band and a great number of deaths, specially among children. Finished conflict, repression was implacable, provoking cease and exile of a great number of republican teachers. Among diverse items exposed appears: maps, ancient books, original letters, laboratories equipment and educational tools, contributing to put in relevance their historical accuracies. Emotionating is contemplation of gingerly calligraphy of letters written by a teenage to their letter-friends. My historic knowledge is renovated by their humanist and practical perspective, being a vital virtue of this exhibition. For this reason I highly recommend visiting it.
