The school is the basis for generating significant changes in society

Taking into account that thousands of people come to schools in search of knowledge and education, these become the basis of most of the ideas and approaches that individuals have. Therefore, education is one of the most influential factors in the advancement and progress of individuals and societies, since the school is the second social institution, after the family, where we socialize and learn to interact with the surrounding world.

In addition to providing knowledge, education enriches culture, spirit, values and everything that characterizes us as human beings. Therefore, it is important to clarify that the school is not the only one that educates, because education is a factor that goes beyond the school and the factors that consolidate it. In fact, the family is the first social institution that permeates and consolidates certain conceptions and is the institution that makes possible the constitution of imaginaries, beliefs and cultural aspects that will accompany individuals throughout their existence, therefore, the relationship between family and school should not be invisible when talking about education.

In this context, the family becomes one of the scenarios that impact and affect young people in terms of the educational scenario, since on many occasions, the family neglects the education of their children, due to the erroneous idea that this should only be developed in school, leaving aside the importance of education in all areas and giving total responsibility to the school.

In this perspective, education must be considered transcendental in the development of individuals, who, together with the family, consolidate the social, emotional, political and cultural development of each subject, acquiring relevance in each social process and in the current situation, transforming themselves from the vertiginous advance of science, the media and the different information technologies, establishing a direct relationship between societies and the advance of these and education.

In fact, the societies that have made the greatest economic and social progress are those that have managed to base their progress on knowledge, both that which is transmitted through schooling and that which is generated through research, consolidating from education, science and technological innovation greater productivity and economic competitiveness, and equally, greater social and cultural development, coupled with the economic factor in terms of productivity, ingenuity, performance and safety of people, so that the economy and education is related to the increase of gross domestic product (GDP), as well as, with the means of production of a territory according to the report of Stanford University and the University of Munich.

However, despite the fact that most countries take this into account, very few countries make large economic injections into the field of education. Similarly, few countries generate radical changes in education and school construction as the space par excellence for building the present and envisioning the future.

Accordingly, we clarify the following:

2. Although society is aware of the importance of education, the institutions involved do not execute nor are they interested in building new dynamics and proposals that generate change.

4. The school does not prepare young people for the future

The current educational systems are failing in their main duty; to educate young people prepared for future situations and problems, as well as to train them to face labor needs. Also, the new digital era and globalization often change business needs in all sectors, creating new types of jobs for which many are not prepared, since, as research by the world economic forum (2017) states, "up to two-thirds of children entering elementary school today will not have the skills needed to get a job.
