Teacher’s college as a seed of social conscience

Abstract

In recent years, the Normales Rurales Schools have been placed as a matter of educational debate. Its particular characteristics and history have generated different points of view, some contradictory, on the continuity relevance. However, the vast majority of opinions are based on prejudices or biased perspectives. This reflexive document intends to contribute to the construction of a general vision, revealing the importance of the Mexican Rural Normal Schools - and their graduates - in the transformation of pedagogical practices and social processes.
