The Inter-American Center for Rural Education (CIER) was preceded by the Inter-American Rural Teaching School (1954) which was, at the same time, the teaching method model promoted by OAS and UNESCO. This served as a basis for training rural teachers in Colombia and Latin America. From the methodological point of view, the study is based on Foucaultian archeological and genealogical research as well as historiographical tools taken from the School of Annales (1929) by introducing the contribution of Luis Beltran Pietro Figueroa to the Rural Teaching School. The transition from the CIER to the UPEL IPR GR from 1983 onwards brought with it new ideas in the field of rural education. Finally, it is our purpose to highlight the areas of training in this field for the history of curriculum development which served as an international model since the 1950s.
