Since the end of the XVIII century, a need for transformation of women's social conditions by means of work and education began to be addressed by some reformers. Although this proposal was not completely developed, progress was made in actions adopted to achieve this purpose in the early "Gran Colombia". The educational measures established at this time attempted to make visible social actors that had been excluded by the educative system during the Colonial period. Although education for girls became an object of legislation by the State, the new educative measures continued being unequal and insufficient with respect to the amount of people who needed to receive education. Thus, poverty and lack of resources on the part of the new Republican Government and the families made the dissemination of women's education difficult.
