The revolution of July 1936 caused major changes in society, and the field of education
was one of them.
In Tarragona, the regional committee of CENU (Committee for the New Unified
School) made efforts to solve the education problem that the city had been facing for
long years: the high rate of illiteracy.
Newspapers gave their support to this initiative and they published articles or editorials
every day, either for or against the new education reform, with the objective of
raising peoples awareness of the issue.
The first thing to do was to take a census of students and buildings suitable for the
teaching practice, including nursery schools; revise the teaching staff and give a new
orientation and aim to the school. It was not easy to achieve, but some progresses were made. However, the obstacles
encountered due to the civil war did not let the new education reform move forward,
until in the end those attempts were given up.
