Abstract

[The Peruvian state has been successful in creating a generalized identification between national government and public education that, until recently, was rarely questioned. This book has showed that before the government based in Lima assumed complete conduction of public education there existed already a network of schools managed by municipal councils. This decentralized system was limited in size and effectiveness and it was unable to accomplish universal primary schooling. Nevertheless, the decentralized school network provided education to a number of students, and established the infrastructural and pedagogical basis for the centralized system. The shortcomings of municipal schools were not due to an inherent inefficiency. The real causes were the disparities that existed within and among communities in terms of financial and human resources, the influence of patronage, and the lack of local interest in fostering identification with the national community before the War with Chile. In general, while municipal councils had national subsidies available, they were able to maintain a certain number of primary schools. Once the national government stopped providing these subventions in the late 1870s, many municipal schools were closed.]
