Education, Scenarios, Science and Technology, KnowledgeAbstract
The education is at the same time the most conservative activity, because it attempts to preserve the past, and the most transforming one, because its aims is to direct the future developments of human condition. So, it can be considered as the nucleus of the relationships between customs and changes in a society. Nowa days the education has been affected by great changes such as the incredible process or world urbanization, the unprecedented formation of intellectuals, the position of women and the speed of the human habitat transformation. All these changes will determine the scenarios in which education will be developed: these would be, according to UNESCO: the globalization as one of the stressing factor of inequalities: North - South relationships and the migratory pressure: the cybernetic book and multimedia; and the new institutional educational environments. All of this states two big challenges: the knowledge challenge and the moral one.
