Abstract


European educational systems, centralized and structured by levels, developed during the 19th century in a “gerschenkron” way. This article focus on the legal definition of secondary education in Spain as represented by the different curricula approved between 1821 and 1936, published in the Gaceta de Madrid, and its implementation in the Instituto Cardenal Cisneros (Madrid) between 1886 y 1936, using registration data from the Libros de Matrícula. Norms appear to have been excessive, unnecessary, and irrelevant, and to have resulted in legal instability which had negative effects on the Cisneros: frequent rearrangements of school curricula, several of them being offered on the same school year and some being replaced before fully implemented, and permanent improvisation within a growing number of subjects. Annual changes in the number of registered students by subject matter was high and irregular, except for the few periods of legal stability, and it shows that the chaos and confusion affecting both students, official and non-official, and professors had reached the classroom.
