In this first part of the work of recovering local history,local history, called "Education 200 years ago in Tota", the project was directed in phases one, two and three by the teacher Edith Rocío Cely Acero (2008-2012) as the leading teacher of the process; together with the research team ONDAS Tota in action, organized on the occasion of the Bicentennial, selected one of the 200 questions from the question bank. The students who took an active part were those in the 8th, 9th and 10th grades of the Jorge Eliécer Gaitán Educational Institution in the municipality of Tota. The entire process was developed between 2008 and 2012, complying with phases 1-2 and 3.

The researcher used the participatory methodology by filling out 100 surveys and interviews with the town's elders, regarding education two centuries ago in Tota, as well as conversations, Internet consultations, old books and the Municipal Archives. This valuable work allowed us to recover some aspects, as follows: what education was like 200 years ago, the name given to those in charge of offering education, what subjects were taught, who could study, where it was studied, how it was taught, and what help or resources existed, etc.
