Summary: The Provincial Chamber of Bogotá created an association for elementary education. The association’s statutes mandated the establishment of schools in the province for both genders. The document includes guidelines for the administration of this society.
Historical Notes: By 1821, Francisco de Paula Santander (acting President of Gran Colombia from 1819-1826) had pushed forward an ambitious legislative plan to put in place an education system for Gran Colombia. It included the introduction of the Lancaster method of education in Bogotá, Cúcuta and Pasto, the creation of elementary and middle schools, “education houses” (places that combined elementary with middle school), universities, and normal schools to educate teachers. At the end of Santander’s government (1826) there were 1,000 elementary private and public schools and approximately 26,000 students. Boys’ education was a priority, but schools for girls were also opened. Female education focused on religious formation, domestic economy, modern languages, grammar and music.
