La formación profesional en Guipúzcoa durante el franquismo: centros y agentes promotores

Abstract

At present, the Vocational Training in the Basque Country holds one of the best indexes of quality. The business network of this province has made possible this phenomenon which begins in the 19th century. During the seventies of the 20th century Gipuzkoa reached the highest number of enrolments within the Vocational Training, together with a wide network of educational establishments. In this article we want to show the uprising of these kinds of educational centers during the Franco regime, highlighting the importance of their promoters: companies, advising boards or congregations. The purpose is to point out that, further than the legislative framework, the social and local demands acted as a dynamizing element of the Vocational Training.
