La pedagogía del obrero: Francisco Gavidia y la educación pública primaria, El Salvador 1896-1898
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article analyzes the changes on elementary public education performed by Gavidia when he was appointed as General Director of Elementary Public Education during General Rafael Antonio Gutiérrez administration (1894-1898). The research reveals that those changes redirected the model of citizen that the Salvadoran State intended to form at schools: Instead of an illustrated citizen, the new education opted for a worker citizen, which fitted in a time on which the urban spaces and working class increased. Gavidia served for a little time as General Director of Elementary Public Education. Nevertheless, this research proves that, in spite of it, his influence endured during the following administrations. The article concludes with a critical approach to some aspects of elementary public education that generated inequity and economic precariousness in Salvadoran schools.
