- Abstract
The Luciano de Castro's amendment pursued to grant a new course to the Portuguese high school education, however, it was Jaime Moniz's legislation that teminated the chaotic status of the lyceum education. Nevertheless, the asymmetry between the two lyceums carried on putting them in different categories. In this interconnection, the angrense high school strove for the improvement of this specific category for decades. The intention was to administer the complete lyceum education and several arguments were used in order to legitimate this pretension. In the extent of the archipelago, everything was done so that this concept would take effect and that at the same time it would be a factor of centrality and appreciation of the district itself. In this field, this and other matters acquired political influences. The role of the district authorities, the political parties and the chancellor's prestige were also influent aspects. Besides the gap when it comes to the amenities and the elitist character of the students, the angrense lyceum was yet an important cultural and intelectual centre of the district, impacting and being impacted by it's surroundings. Timewise, the angrense high school reality in the national context was crucial as it can contribute to the holistic enlightenment of the Portuguese high school entity interlocking the particularities of an insular lyceum.
