Abstract

Este trabajo profundiza en la relación entre política y enseñanza en la posguerra española, durante el periodo de José Ibáñez Martín (1939-1951) en el Ministerio de Educación Nacional del régimen de Franco. En concreto, a partir de la documentación conservada en el archivo personal del ministro, se describen sus proyectos en materia de enseñanza primaria. Se incide en su idea de escuela como institución nacionalizadora de las clases populares y del maestro como apóstol a su servicio. En segundo lugar, se analiza cómo el plan del ministro, la situación material, los vaivenes políticos del Estado de Franco y las aspiraciones de grupos como el partido único del régimen y la Iglesia condicionaron esta enseñanza. Los borradores inéditos de la Ley de Educación Primaria (1945), en vigor durante veinte años, permiten conocer esta singladura política. El criterio falangista, rastreado a partir de la documentación, entre otros, del ministro secretario general de FET y de las JONS, José Luis de Arrese, así como las preocupaciones de la Iglesia católica, reflejadas en las labores de la Comisión Episcopal de Enseñanza Religiosa y Catequesis y el material conservado en los archivos vaticanos, completan el recorrido por la complicada tramitación de una ley que quiso resolver todos los problemas de la escuela.

Alternate abstract:

This paper explores the relationship between politics and education in the Spanish post-war period, during the period of José Ibáñez Martín (1939-1951) in the Ministry of National Education of Franco's regime. Based on the documentation kept in the minister's personal archives, it describes his school plans. The emphasis is on his idea of the school as a nationalising institution for the working classes and of the teacher as an apostle at their service. Secondly, it analyses how the minister's plan, the material situation, the political ups and downs of Franco's state and the concerns of groups such as the regime's single party and the Church conditioned this teaching. The unpublished drafts of the Law on Primary Education (1945), in force for twenty years, provide an insight into this political situation. The Falangist viewpoint, traced from the documentation of, among others, the Minister Secretary General of FET y de las JONS, José Luis de Arrese, as well as that of the Catholic Church, reflected in the work of the Episcopal Commission for Religious Education and Catechesis and the material conserved in the Vatican archives, complete the analysis of the complicated process of a law that was intended to solve all the problems of the school.
