Educational Values within the Scope of the Technological Revolution.

In order to tackle the various challenges of nowadays society, it is necessary that education be oriented not towards the nondiscriminatory and abusive disposal of pedagogical ideas of Modernity, but towards their transformation and adjustment to the particularities and features that postmodern society calls for. Set within the scope of technological changes, society and the educational system try to face the pressures within and outside the system and to face the need to change. Democratic societies, based on respectand mutual support, humanism and social justice, require the development of educational policies that could lead to the building of a universal values' culture including: the truth, justice, love. There is a constant search in educational practice to find solutions for the attribution and respect of values, of the rights belonging to all those who are being educated and to equal chances granted to each of them. This way, educating children becomes more than a mere syntagm of Postmodernism, but rather a firm and clear requirement of our times, determined by the stringent needs of the present.
