This case study concerns the relationship between immigration, schooling and literacy in a department of the Argentine province of Entre Ríos between 1895 and 1914. During that period the province of Entre Rios was the theater of public policies that stimulated agrarian colonization and the department under analysis, Villaguay, had the particularity of attracting an important mass of Jewish immigrants from Ukraine, at that time under the tsarist regime. This process was organized by the Jewish Colinization Association and strongly impacted the department, among other aspects, in the educational sector by providing almost half of the educational offer in the department in the period. Through the census records of 1895 we carry out a sociodemographic evaluation of migrations and their relationship with literacy on the population on which a series of educational policies will be applied. From provincial statistics we have followed the evolution of the implementation of policies and with the published data of the 1914 census we can infer an evaluation of the results and notice the tensions between the provincial and national state by reading them.
