The article studies the Program for the Expansion and Improvement of Rural Education that took place during the ‘80s in all the Argentine provinces except Buenos Aires, funded by the Inter-American Development Bank. It included a system of nuclearization of schools, accompanied by diagnostic policies. The main objectives of the project are to improve the quality of teaching, regionalization of the curriculum, provision of equipment and spare parts, as well as expansion and construction of school buildings. The objective of this work is to address the Program as an object of study in itself in order to develop a research agenda linking different problems. Firstly, the process of regionalization and transfer of primary schools. Secondly, the changes in the institutional design and the staff in charge of the program. Thirdly, the different appropriations of EMER by the different actors of Member State. Finally, the gaps between the Program proposal and the local realities. The research focuses on the province of Entre Ríos and will be built drawing from abundant documentation found in archives of the province and based on interviews with different actors who participated in the Program Project. For the sake of conclusion, the study aims to articulate the four problems presented.
