Political-Educational Thought of Bernardo de Monteagudo and its Relationship with the Establishment of the Normal School in Peru

This article is divided into three parts. The first part describes Monteagudo's educational and biographical context, his social status, and how it relates to his promotion of popular education, spanning from his early education to his studies in Chuquisaca and Europe due to his exile. Subsequently, it outlines Monteagudo's political stance in Peru and its connection to education within a historical context where conservatives opposed any substantial change in favour of the common people.Finally, it links Monteagudo's political-educational thought to the establishment of the Normal School, concluding that he was the primary driver behind this institution. Therefore, he is a figure to be viewed from two perspectives regarding his actions in Peru: first, from his military role, being considered the «Robespierre of the Andes» for his radicalism, and second, as a promoter of education with a popular tone.
