Final answer:

Henry the Navigator did not claim to start a school in Madrid, Spain. He supported exploration and discovery, contributing to knowledge and learning growth, but not directly through the establishment of a school. His operations were mainly in Portugal.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Henry the Navigator did not say, 'I started my first school in Madrid, Spain'. In fact, there's no record of him having started a school anywhere. The misconception might arise from the fact that he heavily supported and sponsored voyages of exploration, which led to a great deal of new knowledge and learning. This in turn might have been misinterpreted as starting a school. His main activities were based in Portugal, not Spain.
