Puerto Rico's colonial history under the United States has shaped
the character of development and education in that territory. In
1898, when the United States invaded Puerto Rico, the language,
culture, and development of the latter was arrested by a
colonialist mandate involving the social, political, and economic
spheres. The role that the development of a mass public school
system would play in sustaining colonial relationships was seen as
paramount. Since then the developments in public school reform
policies have contributed to and have been defined and determined
within the linguistic and ideological framework of the colonizers'
conceptualization of development for Puerto Rico. If development is
more than growth, and if it includes self-determination and
cultural expression within the context of political and economic
arrangements, then Puerto Rico remains a classic example of
colonialism 500 years after Columbus.
