Os primeiros anos de ensino secundario liceal, em Portugal: realidades, necesidades Authors Aurea Adao Abstract The beginning of the "liceal" secondary education in Portugal: Realities, Needs. Passos Manuel "liceal" secondary education system, created three months after the eclosion of September Revolution (1836) was long in running. The urban secondary centers were the first to establish at the beginning of the forties, but only ten years later worked all the foreseen secondary centers, whose aims were both the preparation to university and the vocational formation for those not being able to proceed with academic training.

A debate began between the upholders of the "regime de classe" and the defenders of the "ensino por disciplinas". After the apathy of the "ensino secundário liceal" during the 1860 and 1870 decades went the designation in 1876 of an official Comission aimed to prepare a project of reform of the secondary education.
