SALINAS, Juan Manuel. Financing Elementary Education in Chiapas: a Hard Endevour: 1880-1914. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2019, vol.14, e482.  Epub Aug 07, 2020. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2019.v14.482.

Following the dawn of its Independence, the Mexican republic, among the many problematics ailing a new nation, had education as one of the great challenges for the State and Federal administrations. At a national scale, conservatively twenty percent of the population had this benefit. The state of Chiapas was no exception to this. According to numbers from the 2010 census, Chiapas occupies the first place in analphabetism in the nation, followed by Guerrero and Oaxaca. Although this problema has origins running as deep as Colonial times, we consider the problem starting at the “Porfiriato”, a period in which, under a modernizing concept, the federal administration set to tackle the task of erradicating educational backwardness in the country.
