Colonial Education in Peru by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Education in colonial Peru was elitist, dogmatic, and religious. It was divided into elementary, intermediate, and university education. Elementary education focused on evangelization and acculturation, intermediate education prepared criollos and mestizos, and university education educated the children of conquerors in theology, arts, law, and medicine. Two notable thinkers were Pedro de Olavide, who criticized colonial teaching, and another professor who proposed a secular and free university.
