Abstract

The objectives and contents of any education come in great measure determined by the necessities and characteristic of their addressees. From there comes the importance of analyzing these characteristics, beginning with the most visible aspects as previous step for ulterior studies. For it, the present work approaches the characteristics of the students of secondary education in the last decade of the 19th century, through a concrete example. With a mainly quantitative focus, there are aspects like geographical origin, social extraction, ages when beginning and finishing the studies, duration of them, or academic yield. The results, among others, show us an outstanding weight of the urban means, with a majority presence of the nearest environment, but without the lack of those coming from away places, as well as a prevalence of the high classes, tinged by the presence, although limited, of the other groups, including the most popular layers in the society.
