South of the border. Schools in Patagonia at the end of the 19th century

Journal Title: Revista de Estudios Marítimos y Sociales - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 12

Abstract

This article describes the situation of education in the Argentine Patagonian territory in the late nineteenth century. In this period the State had not yet imposed its pedagogical project in the entire country. This was due, firstly, to the budgetary limits for this area, and secondly, to the difficulty of the country’s geography. This state absence allowed the flourishing of counter-hegemonic educational offerings. Schools promoted by immigrant communities, such as galenses in Chubut, or those of religious orientation, such as Salesian schools, flourished. Here we analyze why these schools proliferated, as well as the attempts and problems faced by the National State in order to impose its pedagogical proposal in these territories.
