Antonio da Costa is a critical examination of the educational system in Portugal, written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a political and administrative treatise, advocating for the establishment of a dedicated Ministry of Public Instruction to address the inadequacies in the country's educational governance. As the author argues, the need for reform arises from a historical context of centralization in the educational sector, stifling the progress and effectiveness of public teaching. In the text, D. Antonio da Costa meticulously outlines the shortcomings of the existing educational framework, highlighting the ineffectiveness of a centralized bureaucratic approach that fails to meet the needs of the populace. He details the implications of a decentralized model that would empower local governance in educational matters, demonstrating the results achieved thus far under recent reforms. Costa's arguments emphasize that without a specialized ministry focused on public instruction, meaningful progress in education—especially in primary and secondary schooling—will remain stunted. Ultimately, he calls for urgent action to reorganize the educational system, framing it as a vital national issue that transcends political divides and is essential for Portugal's future.
