Ministry of Justice and Public Instruction


Explanation:
Antiguamente siempre se decía Instrucción Pública en los países latinoamericanos. Modernamente es "Educación Pública". Para reflejar esa diferencia propongo:
Educación Pública = Public Education
Instrucción Pública = Public Instruction

Ejemplo:

Domingo Santa María González (1825‑1889) was born in Santiago, in a family of distinguished Spanish and colonial lineage. Educated in the National Institute and later in the University of Chile, he first taught in the former, at the same time pursuing his legal studies and serving as subordinate in the ***ministry of justice and public instruction***.

Aquí se refleja el cambio de "Ministry of Justice and Public Instruction a "Ministry of Education", que se produjo en 1927:

The MINISTRY OF EDUCATION OF CHILE (MINEDUC) is the Ministry of State responsible for promoting the development of education at all levels, to assure all people access to basic education, to stimulate scientific and technological research and artistic creation, and the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage of the nation of Chile .

HISTORY

Chilean students in 2008.

The ministry began in 1837 as part of the Ministry of Justice and Religious Instruction . In those years the ministry was responsible for overseeing educational institutions such as the Instituto Nacional de Chile
and Universidad de Chile . Since 1887 it was named ***Ministry of Justice and Public Instruction***.

The ***Ministry of Education was separated from the Ministry of Justice in 1927***, and became responsible for primary education, secondary education, vocational education, libraries, archives and museums.

During the government of Eduardo Frei Montalva, the following institutions were created under Ministry of Education:

Es decir, en 1927 se separaron los ministerios y se deja de decir Ministerio de Instrucción: Ministerio de Educación (Ministry of Education) y Ministerio de Justicia (Ministry of Justice)
