With regard to technical instruction, Mr. Vasconcelos
rejected the pragmatism of the North American school
defended by Dewey. This does not mean he rejected manual
labor; he appreciated it without disregarding the necessity
for reasoning and theoretical knowledge.

Vasconcelos, while still the director of the University
Department, created the General Direction for Technical
Education on March 1st, 1921.

The following institutions were created by this General
Direction: the School for Railroad Workers, the School for the
Textile Industry, the National School for Master Builders,
the School for Technical Teachers, the Technical School for
Arts and Trade, the National School for Graphic Arts, the
Technical School for Typing and the “Gabriela Mistral”
Home School for Ladies.

Besides those, there were 88 more technical schools: for
mining, industry, commerce and arts and trades, 71 public
schools and 17 private schools.

In the official Education Policy, an infrastructure enlargement
was proposed, both an educational extension and an
improvement in quality and specialization.

However, in spite of the initial achievements accomplished by
the Secretariat, limits were imposed on the national reach
of the vasconcelista project after the presidential succession
in 1924, which ended in the delahuertista rebellion. While the
original project continued, it became narrowed in its scope.
