LUQUE, Guillermo. GOMECISMO Y EDUCACIÓN: REFORMA, CONTRARREFORMA Y NUEVAS REFORMAS. 1900- 1930. Investigación y Postgrado [online]. 2001, vol.16, n.2, pp.103-133. ISSN 1316-0087.

As curious it may look like, the educative matter under Gomecism has not received the same historian’s attention from one or another trend of thought; the study of the economical and political matters have been more exhaustive than the cultural aspects, in general, and particularly the evolution of our scholar system. As gomecism we understand the system initiated with the Restoring Revolution under Cipriano Castro´s lead, whose most noticeable features are: The presidentialism, the elimination of leaders, the centralism, the Andean presence in the national politics and the domain of a positivist liberal elite, placed backwards to the majority´s interests. Gómez continued the political begun by Castro. Referring to education, three figures left their track in that period since 1899 through 1935 and beyond. These were: the historian José Gil Fortoul, the doctor Felipe Guevara Rojas and the jurist Rubén González. Each one of them worked under very particular political circumstances which, in part, explain their performance. To that historical circumstance we should add the particular education of each one of them, their political orientations, and their sense of citizen responsibility. The essential is that, even though gomecism did not characterize by promoting the national education beyond elementary school and university for exclusive groups, It is possible to find in its interior critics, innovations, reflections and even clashes on aspects such as the State Intervention and the laicism, just to point out a few. This is what we are proposed to present.
