Introduction

The relevance of education in the process of development of adolescents and young people in our society is beyond doubt. Indeed, from many well-worked perspectives and theories, we agree that formal education, that is to say school education, is the key to citizen socialization and the personal development of the new generations.

The new society of information and communication has led to the appearance of new forms of work, new relationships between people, and the need to live together with different cultures, different languages, ways of thinking, etc. All this makes it more necessary than ever that the reflection on the educational fact by the actors who are part of the great theater of education is constant and deep. This dialogue will try to answer such important questions as: what kind of citizen do we want today?, what skills must be learned in this new society?, what role does the new teacher have in all this?, etc.

At the same time, understanding how the idea of education and school has evolved will help us understand the current situation.
