Abstract: This article discusses how the existence of two different institutional systems and their interactions in Spain in the 19th and early-20th centuries can affect education. In the mid-19th century, the foral institutions had a positive effect on education in foral municipalities. However, with the deployment of the Spanish state during the late-19th and early-20th centuries, it can be observed how the conflict between the State and the foral insti-tutions led to better educational results in the municipalities under the common regime. This can be explained by the fact that education was used as a field of dispute in the constant political conflict between foral prov-inces and the State in an attempt to maintain the political and economic privileges granted to them by the fueros.
