Question

education the most important resources (explain)

Answer 1

E.F. Schumacher published “Small is beautiful” in 1973. Over 40 years have passed and we find ourselves immerse in the XXI century. However, it is not an overstatement to say that nowadays, we can take the German economist ideas and complete them with the approach of education as a human right, recognised by the United Nations and expressed in many international human rights treaties. We find its longest formulation in article 13 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, in which the States claim that education must be directed to the full development of the human personality and the full recognition of its dignity, strengthening the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Many authors today place special emphasis on the transformative power of education, in the necessity ofeducation for people to achieve full development, to encourage respect, cooperation, a critical approach accompanied by alternative proposals based on justice and solidarity. A transformative education that places personal and social compromise over indifference. An indifference that erases any hint of responsibility towards the rest of the people.

Today, the most important resource needs the transformative power so that, in words of our teacher and educator Daniel Jover Torregrosa, “a civic ethos emerges based on human rights and exchanges quantity for quality”. There is no doubt that this is a challenging task.
