Abstract

In the sequence of researches carried out in past years on the influence of overseas emigrants on the education system of Galicia, this study is a comprehensive analyse of the conclusions gathered and establishes an analogy with those emigrants who have setded in Portugal. Therefore, this study concludes mat, from the early 17 th century until recent years, the Galician emigrants living in the Americas have individually or collectively contributed to the improvement of the education infrastructures both in their origin and destination places. These initiatives had a decisive impact in the institutionalisation, growth and modernisation of schools in Galicia, particularly during the first quarter of the 20 th century.
