This article analyzes the transformations that the educational system of the state of Tabasco underwent during the government of General Francisco J. Múgica (1915-1916), emphasizing the importance of the administrative, infrastructural and pedagogical reforms he promoted. The pedagogical reform is highlighted from the perspective of rationalist education, which culminated with the implementation of the “School Republic” that sought to disseminate revolutionary values and promote municipal autonomy and rural education. We also address certain educational changes that, during his brief time as governor of the state of Michoacán in the early 1920s, General Múgica carried out in that state, including the administrative restructuring of the state university and the rural Teachers Training Colleges (Escuelas Normales).
