Abstract

CAICEO ESCUDERO, Jaime. Review of the historical-political-educational context in mid-19th century in Chile. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.1, pp.59-64. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v37i1.21922.

In the wake of the publication of María Victoría Peralta´s important work on the establishment of pre-school education in Chile and Bolivia in mid-19th century, current analysis describes briefly the political-educational situation in Chile in that historical moment. The controversy between the secular education of the teaching state of that time and the Catholic education, representing the liberty of teaching, is emphasized. The above is similar to the debate which is occurring in Chile nowadays, or rather, between public education and private education.

Keywords : Chilean Educational History; Secular Education; Catholic Education; Secular Catholic Controversy.
