Abstract
The Spanish Constitution of 1812 dedicates a chapter to public education. In this Constitution is established the obligation to build elementary schools in all villages of the kingdom. Education was considered as an instrument of reform. The Cádiz liberals were aware of the need for education but also of the difficulties in implementing this idea. Elementary schools were few and poor, and teachers were mostly ignorant. In these circumstances, the Lancastrian method, characterized by cheap teaching, was seen as a possible way of extending education to the masses. In this paper we analyze the creation of the Lancasterian school for girls in Madrid.
