In the latter sense, the founding of the National Preparatory School was one of the most important steps in that historical moment, with special reference to the advancement of education in our country. The Public Institution Act, enacted during the administration of President Juarez, looked provisions relating to school education, creating an independent school based on the positive trend exhibited by Dr. Gabino Barreda, who will be part of the drafting committee the project that was the basis for the founding of the National Preparatory School. The institution was a novelty in traditional education systems: the student would train based on a curriculum covering various cutting encyclopedic knowledge areas. The materials would be 34, and would have both scientific and humanistic. Justo Sierra conceived of the National Preparatory School as the foundation of the University, its foundation, its pillar.
