Abstract
En este trabajo examinamos una propuesta sobre la organización de un
sistema de instrucción primaria en Chile presentada por el entonces diputado
Manuel Montt. Este proyecto representó una iniciativa muy anhelada
en favor de la difusión de la educación en Chile, a la vez que involucró un
diseño organizacional bastante radical. En la medida que el proyecto
incluía consideraciones relativas al financiamiento del sistema, éste parece
también relevante en cuanto al tema de la organización de la estructura
fiscal de Chile. Aunque la propuesta de Montt fue finalmente desechada,
las discusiones que ella suscitó constituyen un marco muy ilustrativo
para debates fundamentales respecto de las bases de un sistema fiscal en
el Chile del siglo XIX.
In this paper we examine a proposal regarding the organization of the system of primary education in Chile submitted by then Deputy Manuel Montt. This project represented a long overdue initiative in support of the diffusion of education in Chile and a radical way of viewing its organization. To the extent that this project included considerations regarding the funding of this system, it also seems relevant to the organization of Chile’s fiscal framework. Although Montt’s proposal was ultimately discarded, the related discussions represent an interesting setting for fundamental debates regarding the foundation of the fiscal system of 19th century Chile.
