Sumario:Law 1420, passed in 1884, has remained in the social imaginary as the "national law of compulsory, free and secular education". However, in the context of recent research that has begun to question the scope of these aspects, in this paper we ask ourselves about one of them in particular, that of compulsory education, and we focus on one of the then fourteen provinces, Entre Ríos. We ask ourselves who was covered by compulsory education, how it was guaranteed and how it was reflected in the schooling process. We take the period between the passing of the Education Act of 1886, which expressed the "free, compulsory and secular" nature of common education, and that passed in 1958, which established compulsory education up to the sixth grade.
