For those interested in the chequered history of Education and Schools in Saligao I would suggest you read the article by Luis Medonca in the Souvenir produced to celebrat the 100 years (1873-1973) of our Church in Saligao.
Yes Saligao was priviledged to have one of the first four Latinade and Portuguese Schools in Goa. The others were in Panjim, Margao & Mapuca.This was run by Fr.Lazaro de Souza in Cotula. Incidentally my Alma Mater Mater Dei Institution completes 100 years this Year.It was founded by Mr.Anacleto F.X.Lobo from Anjuna in 1909.

Mater Dei Institution - as it was known then where my dad & his bother studied for a while & one uncle taught there too before he made his way to Africa as many Saliganvkars did. I am sure there are others who will remember the rest. Matriculation it was called, & schools were affiliated to Bombay University but before the Goa Board came into being around 1975-76, they were affiliated to Poona Board - at least I know that because it says so on my Certificate...that was when we studied 11 + 4 rather than 10 + 2 + 3.
