Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide the reader with an approach to the educational perspective of Llubí (a municipality of the Majorcan Pla region) during the first decades of the twentieth century. This is the period in which the process of implementation of compulsory primary education was completed. It took place in the Spanish State starting with the development of the Moyano Law (1857). Later the paper analyses the activity of the Local Board of Primary Education (usually controlled by certain families) in this village in rural Mallorca. Using the data obtained in the official population census, the growth of literacy rates is studied. In addition, it explains the influence of two Llubí teachers, protagonists of that time, Maria Capó and Joan Vidal, in the two public schools: the one for girls and the one for boys.
