Abstract

The present article studies the situation of education in the state of Oaxaca between the period of Independence and the Restored Republic. Mostly indigenous, the population was considered the impeding obstacle in order to achieve civilization and stability, according to the political and intellectual 19th century elite. Soon after, the idea spread that the State was responsible for solving this problem; and the most effective solution would be through mandatory, free, and lay education. The fallowing text presents liberal ideas on "the indigenous problem" and the dealings of its "solution" through the analysis of the legislation that made possible and designed the educational system, both at the administrative level and at the teaching professional development level.
