摘要:This paper is based on the analysis of National Population and Educational Censuses, institutional reports and some experts’ accounts, who were officials of Mendoza Province. In here, education is seen as an indicator of the level of development reached by the society in Mendoza in the first half of the twentieth century. This province was chosen because of its economic characteristics and the obtained data, which could lead to a disaggregated local analysis. From the study of qualitative and quantitative data was possible to identify the existance of major inequalities in educational opportunities in gender as well as in the regions that make part of the province. In particular, major difficulties were evident in women, comparing to men, to complete or have access to basic education, as well as the differences between the urban and rural áreas. In addition, a high rate of school truancy at early ages in rural áreas was observed, almost always due to economic needs in their families.
