The federalization of education in Mexico that took place in the first half of the 20th century had important repercussions on school culture that affected diverse actors while modifying local practices. This study analyzes the conditions that allowed the establishment of federal rural schools in the northern region of the State of Mexico and describes some of the local responses to this process that occurred in the decades of 1920 and 1930.
