ABSTRACT
This article addresses a problem that has represented a turning point in the Argentine education system: the transfer of national primary schools to the provinces under the last military dictatorship. Focusing on the period 1976-1978 and delving into the province of Entre Ríos, this paper seeks to highlight the opposition of the provinces to the transfer, the differences between the efforts of the Ministers of Education Juan Catalán and Ricardo Bruera, the need to legitimize the measure by the dictatorial government and the process of administrative adaptation of the provinces once the measure is implemented.
