Abstract

HERRERO, Alejandro Ramón. Rural schools in Argentina (1905-1960). A panoramic look. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e147.  Epub Aug 07, 2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-147.

The study of the History of Education has been neglected in Argentine historiography. In these last two decades, research has multiplied, however, we know little about rural schools. In this article I investigate official sources from the National Education Council, in order to analyze what were the diagnoses and the problems that they pointed out about schools sites of the campaign and what responses they produced. My hypothesis is that even in 1960 the objectives demanded in the education laws for rural areas are far from being fulfilled, and illiteracy continues to be a drama without solution. It is a panoramic and exploratory inquiry.

Keywords : Rural Schools; Illiteracy; Argentina.
