¹ The Uruguayan free, compulsory and secular educational tradition was started by the renowned sociologist José Pedro Varela in 1876 to educate and unify the population after the Uruguayan Civil War (1839-1851) under a single national identity. It’s now ingrained in our culture as a second family with lifelong bonds, making it one of the pillars of Uruguayan society.
