In this paper we propose to analyze the Program for Expansion and Improvement of Rural Education (EMER) in the province of Entre Ríos between 1978 and 1992. It is a Program that proposes a link between formal education and labor competencies in rural primary schools through the incorporation of manual work workshops, home arts and agriculture, made viable through the nuclearizationof schools and the regionalization of contents. It has been funded by the Inter-American Development Bank, with an equivalent counterpart from the National Treasury and was carried out throughout the country, with different rates and levels of application. We took part in the debate about the external influences of international funding organizations on educational policies at both national and regional levels. Our hypothesis is that, in its origins, this program had a correlation with decentralization policies of the last dictatorship and that continued during the decade of 1980’s. We conclude that the EMER Program was a legitimizing element of the policy of transferring national primary schools to the provinces and the main scope of the policies of regionalization of contents. The work is based on the analysis of official documents –such as feasibility studies, regulations, agreements, projects, reports, evaluations, curricular designs- found in different archives of the province, the National Teacher's Library but also on interviews with agents in charge of the Program in Entre Ríos.
