ABSTRACT
While it is true, quality
has always been measured through statistics and percentages, often forgetting
the training of the whole person. Now, when we talk about issues such as
humanism and education supported by technology, we can fall into extremes: it
is common to label technology as the provider of all the evils of today’s
civilization; or the opposite assumption; to argue that incorporating
technologies into education would be the panacea for all the problems it faces
and finally, to assume that the subject of the humanities is more typical of
actions and attitudes of the past than as a current need, giving vitality to
any educational process. However, and fortunately for the educational
community, today there are global efforts to make the educational task a human
action that minimizes inequities and the abysmal differences that exist in
countries like ours. Fernando Reimers says: “Equal educational opportunities
must be the priority objective of educational policies, the aim of education
must be to contribute to creating just societies”. This requires improving the
learning environments of the poor, but not only along the paths that have been
started over the last decade. This aspect pointed out by Reimers is precisely
the central aspect that all educational action must contemplate; the educational
policies that are implemented in our country must guarantee, above all, the
construction of a just and egalitarian society, strengthening the cultural
wealth that we have, with respect to the diversity of people, their past, their
present and especially their future.
