Abstract

From a regional perspective, analyses are made of the institutions set up by the provincial state for social governance and state power building, which shaped the schooling process in the province and the emergence of the first state school officials. Between 1840 and 1870, in the province of Jujuy, the Protective Society for Education and the Society of Beneficence operated, with a strong interest in organising, governing and expanding the local schooling process.
