| description | We propose to emphasize the importance of Jose Pedro Varela in the Latin-American concert, as builder of the Uruguayan school system. This work summarizes long researches about the work and personality of Varela, these were done years before and synthetically expressed in our work “Varela “ (1989). The mentioned research was based on the re-reading of his writings their different contexts in the social, political and economic environment in which he lived. From it, it arose that the well-known image of Varela has been very schematic and it does not rescue the complexity of his personality. In effect Varela, an intelligent and dynamic young person inspired by the work of Sarmiento, together with several young friends stimulated the creation of an educational movement (the “ Friends’ Society of the Popular Education “) it came together in the approval - for the Government - of a Law of Education and in his designation as National Inspector of Public Instruction in 1877. His early death in 1879 did not prevent him from stopping laid the foundations of a school system, which general lines would extend across any more than one century. Though he has not been sufficiently recognized worldwide, in Uruguay - and in any measure, in the Rio de la Plata - it is one of the figures distinguished from the educational history |

Though he has not been sufficiently recognized worldwide, in Uruguay - and in any measure, in the Rio de la Plata - it is one of the figures distinguished from the educational history Nos proponemos destacar la importancia de José Pedro Varela en el concierto latinoamericano, como constructor del sistema escolar uruguayo. Este trabajo resume largas investigaciones sobre la obra y personalidad de Varela, realizadas años atrás y sintéticamente expresadas en nuestra obra “Varela” (1989). Dicha investigación se basó sustancialmente en la re-lectura de los escritos de aquel y la contextualización de los mismos en el ambiente social, político y económico en que vivió. De ello surgió que la imagen popularizada de Varela ha sido muy esquemática y no rescata lo complejo de su personalidad. En efecto, Varela, joven inteligente y dinámico, inspirado en la obra de Sarmiento, junto con varios jóvenes amigos impulsó la creación de un movimiento educacional (la “Sociedad de Amigos de la Educación Popular”) que confluyó en la aprobación -por el Gobierno- de una Ley de Educación y en su designación como Inspector Nacional de InstrucciónPública en 1877. Su temprana muerte en 1879 no le impidió dejar sentada las bases de un sistema escolar, cuyas líneas generales se prolongarían a través de más de un siglo. Si bien no ha sido suficientemente reconocido a nivel internacional, en Uruguay -y en alguna medida, en el Río de la Plata- es una de las figuras destacadas de la historia educacional.
