Proyecto de escuelas dominicales

Abstract

The image contains a news article about the project to establish Sunday schools in Bogotá in 1832, with the goal of improving public education and morality, especially for farmers and artisans, combating ignorance and fanaticism. It highlights how these schools, inspired by similar initiatives in England, could be funded with public resources and have a positive impact on citizens' learning, morality, and civic perception. It also highlights the transformative effect of education, comparing it to philanthropy, by providing new opportunities for intellectual development and happiness for people, especially poor children. This article was published in the Constitucional de Cundinamarca newspaper on March 25, 1832.
