Abstract

This article focuses on the biographical exploration of a Zacatecan teacher who has always been linked to normal education, since Luis Eduardo Luévano Vega, from his first letters maintained a relationship with the Manuel Ávila Camacho Normal School, through primary, secondary and professional education.

The main objective is to rescue and explain the teaching work in the Zacatecan educational context of the second half of the twentieth century, since Luévano's actions allow us to know the educational policy through the history of teachers and above all the identity and vocation through the institutional culture of the normalistas.

Based on this, the main results could be called the recognition of Zacatecas' educational policy throughout the history of education, observing characteristics of training, teaching, teacher training school culture, unionism, management and above all vocation through an educational actor who had a relationship with the aforementioned areas and in which he created institutional culture through his actions.
