Historical Notes: Under the presidency of Mariano Ospina Rodríguez (1857-61) there were several changes made in the education system in order to promote “the useful science.” Ospina Rodríguez believed that citizens should receive an education with a balance of both humanistic and technical knowledge. In addition, he promoted the development of programs that would teach proper grammar and orthography and help to develop good public speaking and writing skills (261).
