The arrival of Spanish exiles to Colombia as a result of the Spanish Civil War(1936-1939) meant a flowering of the Colombian educational world, until then apatheticand outdated. The fact that among the exiles there were a significant number of teachers andeducators explains this “golden age” of education in Colombia. The firm commitment of stateinstitutions for the new techniques of the Spanish was central to the launch of education inColombia in the thirties, forties and fifties. Old educational techniques were abandoned. Thisarticle attempts to explain the fate of these exiles, from a standpoint of their labor and living conditions, as well as institutions with which they shared their pedagogical know ledgein Colombia
