| Summary: | The Industrial, Commerce and Nautical School of Cadiz was established in 1851 by gathering the chairs ascribed to the Arts School of Madrid and the School of Mathematics and Commerce of the Cadiz Consulate, the latter of which also provided elementary tuition in civil nautical subjects. In the preceding years, the city of Cadiz, by virtue of the loss of the Spanish colonies in America, had declined from a major trade centre to a mere province capital
The School's curricula were gradually developed from 1851-52. The School taught elementary industrial subjects (two years), commerce subjects (three years) and nautical subjects (three years). By 1854, it had more than two hundred students and twelve teachers.
The premises were small and inappropriate for teaching; thus, the School was housed in several rooms on the ground floor of the Consulate building that were poorly illuminated. Also, it had no laboratories or workshops In 1863, the School split; the nautical branch became an independent teaching section, and the industrial and commercial sections were incorporated into the new secondary education institute that was founded in Cadiz at the time.
Based on recorded facts, this paper describes specific aspects of changes in the School during its twelve years of life, with emphasis on the most salient features of the institution and the teaching and material levels it reached. |
