| Resumo: | Meeting the demand for educational services in post-revolutionary Mexico focused on the elementary and secondary level, since the governments derived from the Mexican Revolution were forced to confront the needs of a society mired in illiteracy. They did not, however, neglect higher education, since the country’s reconstruction depended on the development of trained professionals. Within the sphere of higher education, the National University escaped the state’s control while technical schools became the government bastion for national development. University students and technicians had no reason to split off and their gradual distancing was oriented by the state’s interest in the attempt to teach a lesson to government opponents on the one hand and on the other, to establish a new kind of revolutionary professional. |
