The modern dictators were apt to consider the education policy very important because they thought school was an institution for passing their ideologies on to the new generations. The spanish dictator, Francisco Franco, was no exception. The education policy was not unvarying under the Franco Regime. We may divide the period of the Franco Regime into three stages with a view to examine its education policy. That is the beginning from 1938 to 1945, the middle from 1945 to 1962, the end from 1962 to 1975. At the beginning they established the national-catholic education system; at the middle the national-catholicism reached its peak and faced a social and economic challenge, and at the end they founded the technocratic system in the educational institution. Here we examine the first stage that the national-catholic education policy was set up. At this stage the educational authorities censored the books and teaching materials and purged the schoolteachers who didn’t follow or support the National Movement. There was also a struggle for leadership in education between the Falange and the Catholic Church of Spain. Eventually, the latter won the struggle and the result has been reflected in the Law of Elementary Education of 1945. We examine the procedures of being established this education policy and its main contents based on the documents such as laws, orders and circulars. we confine this analysis to the elementary education.
