C O E D U C A T I O N "The hyper-economicist view, has been accentuated by the economic crisis, and forgets that in school individuals in society are forged, not merely productive subjects, and education from their illustrated formulations was conceived as the key on which to build a humanism in an egalitarian sense". Jesús Espinosa, historian.
COVERING ALL DIMENSIONS OF THE PERSON
"We propose to incorporate into the school curriculum, education in other dimensions of the person. These include emotional management and in particular the development of intrapersonal intelligence, which comes to be, the knowledge of one's own mind and its mechanisms". Educación Universal.
URGENT METHODOLOGICAL CHANGE "On a tour of the education laws since the middle of last century until today, we see an evolution in terminology, but in reality little or nothing seems to change in the school and the classroom" ECO Asturias.
EARLY STIMULATION "Our approach is holistic, that is to see the human being as a whole, this allows us to assert that early stimulation is a technique of technicians, but is a natural and proper technique that humans have" ALAEE Uruguay.
"Efficiency, capacity, do not enter in valoration in a system that certifies the theoretical tests, although this may imply a total lack of reality..." "The titles are expensive. Administrative procedures are loaded. The years of study are accompanied by aneconomic apparatus. This also explains why there are some people within it..." "The new titles are stabilized. Investigate which ones do it and which left out, is a good clue to understanding what the state of things is, and who occupy the relevant spaces".
