Nostalgia for the rural school in the memories of their former students

Resumo

The aim is understanding the role they occupied in their memories and the meaning of the school
through the analysis of former students memories of Galician rural schools. The narrators have
established differences experienced by them to more large or religious schools. While these
buildings have better facilities and furniture, these benefits fail to hide, in the eyes of the
narrators, the consolidation of the model of closed school. And it is the other school, which lost,
along with the childhood, which the narrators yearn.
