In this paper we present views of the rural school world in three central and northern regions of Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century. We are interested in exploring important contextual aspects that led to state action to intervene in the construction and equipping of rural schools in three regions: the Mezquital Valley in Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon and San Luis Potosi. Our research focus on the period following the Mexican Revolution, as we want to make a first approach to the transformation of school spaces, both facilities and buildings, furniture, and concepts, as they build the new choreography and school-community relations in rural and indigenous villages.
