El proyecto de Universidad gironiano para la clase trabajadora y su sistema de estudios

Abstract

The University project of Giron aimed at the working class can be traced to the institutional and educational modals used in the Vocational University of Belgium, founded in 1903, and in the Spanish vocational schools that came out of the postwar period. The aim was to create a university of the people, of the underprivileged, of the working class, a true monument to work, which also served as the propaganda of the social politics of the proFranco dictatorship. These schools led the way to the social promotion of the working class, which Girón de Velasco called the “offensive social forecast”, by means of providing them access to a position of some professional standing, and served to instill in them a sense of the work ethic and distanced them from the class struggle
