'Work and education: dilemmas and challenges' by the author Estella Acosta Pérez invites reflection and debate that is its main objective as expressed by the author in the introduction : “We propose to reflect to contribute to the debate perhaps with “more questions than answers with more criteria than recipes with more principles than dogmas without academic pretensions without absolute truths.”
The book with a foreword by Antonio Gutiérrez addresses the interrelation between work and education that appears as a corporate demand of companies but also as a citizen aspiration to find the effectiveness and social profitability of institutional CXB Directory practices that involve the entire society. There is a real concern for the future where education and vocational training both initial and continuous play a key role. The profound and dizzying scientific and technological changes appeal not only to economic adaptation but also to human development and education as a fundamental right that must be analyzed as a basis for other rights. Even more so when its function has been questioned by undermining the pillars of the Welfare State in times of neoliberal and neoconservative hegemonies not only economically but through a significant regression of democracy.
The profound and dizzying scientific and technological changes appeal not only to economic adaptation but also to human development and education as a fundamental right.
Some of the current mantras such as the distancing of studies from the needs of the “labor market” the biased interpretations of lifelong learning from the “end of work” to digital employment are critically treated and ended with an annex that introduces us to a communication to the ILO Interuniversity Congress on the future of work and we can find ideas from some of the articles published in Nuevatribuna.es a website in which Estella Acosta collaborates. Analyzes related to the knowledge society the productive model the educational model are incorporated always in line with ideological criticism of the foundations of neoliberalism.
