MOLGORA, Marco A. Calderón. The indigenous student house and the rural education in Mexico (1926-1932). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2022, vol.38, e84655. Epub Aug 18, 2022. ISSN 1984-0411. https://doi.org/10.1590/1984-0411.84655.
The Indigenous Student House (CEI) was a national boarding school where hundreds of young people from diverse Mexican indigenous groups lived between 1926 and 1932. Its original objective was to promote the incorporation of indigenous people into the national culture and to the post-revolutionary state. In 1928 an Indigenous Teachers’ College was created within the same institution. Despite the fact that there are several essays published on the CEI, it is possible to further develop issues related to cultural change and the effort of the federal government to industrialize the Mexican countryside. The main objective of the essay is to reconstruct significant aspects of the CEI’s history linked to these processes.
