ABSTRACT
The extent and content of education was an important and much contested achievement of the Mexican Revolution. The Ministry of Education helped to expand the number of schools—especially in urban areas but perhaps more significantly in rural Mexico. The ministry worked to make significant changes to the content of education in Mexico, playing an integral role in disseminating new conceptions of Mexican history and government messages about the role of government and nation in the lives of Mexicans. The aztec tradition says that the social differences that existed in their society date from the era of Izcoatl and Moctezuma I. The work of national biological integration should proceed as if it conforms to a natural law, and a moment will come when the people of Mexico will unify materially in a new type, just as it is unified spiritually by the love for its Country.
