GARCIA-ALONSO, MARÍA. Pedagogical extension in Ibero-America as a model of political action: the lay educational missions. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2021, vol.16, n.38, pp.209-236.  Epub May 18, 2022. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.38.2021.2819.

The article is a reflection on a special type of cultural and educational extension that focused on rural schools: the pedagogical or secular cultural missions. These were developed in different parts of Latin America and Spain, especially between the 1930s and 1950s. Although at some moments and in some countries their execution was shared by universities, they were developed mainly by people and institutions linked to non-university public education, who felt the need to alleviate the situation of abandonment in which the rural world was immersed.

Keywords : cultural missions; pedagogical missions; socio-pedagogical missions; pedagogical extension; cultural extension; rural education.
