It reflects on how census statistics influenced the measurement of literacy in the first decades of the twentieth century. It reviews pedagogical and political debates that contextualize the reception of census statistics on education. It analyzes how illiteracy was first classified and shows how, in the specific case of the Instrucción Rudimentaria, the figures were understood as an advance towards progress in education, gradually becoming a reference for the educational projects of the twentieth century.
