This paper discusses a research on the incidence of forgetfulness of teachers in the subject image and the configuration of society. Oblivion is a constant in human societies and it appears to be stronger in societies, such as Colombia, that have failed to grow, to set the ground as a project due to the political haste, the weakness memory and the inordinate capacity to forget. Little by little, an essential question encircled the research horizon: if people forget, if teachers forget how to teach: what are these oversights, and what do they consist of?

This paper analyzes the official proposal for recent history teaching. For such purpose, we draw on national education laws (1993 and 2006), the curricula approved from 1995 to present for the secondary level (at the national level and at the Province of Buenos Aires) and regulations of the commemorations--especially March 24th and September 16th--. This analysis will be made in relation to the representations of memory and the progress of historiography about recent past, to consider up to what extent school contents have witnessed an impact due to changes in these narratives.
