Abstract

This article analyzes some proposals related to the industrial technical education debates held in the Chamber of Deputies of Chile, in the context of economic and social reforms derived primarily from the 1929 crisis. In that sense, we examine ideas and proposals concerning to the formation of skilled labour to meet one of the major challenges to the socioeconomic modernization. The process of transformation of the technical education system reached its greatest expression with the founding of the Universidad Tecnica del Estado (State Technical University) in 1947 conceived as the institution in charge of forming senior technical staff to support the implementation of national industrialization.
