Resumen de Contrarrestar los obstáculos en la era de la educación. Lucha contra las desigualdades y perspectivas pedagógicas e institucionales.
This paper considers inequalities in their various dimensions, focusing on those that emerge from a number of surveys that are recalled within the contribution and that refer to recent years. It shows that those with weaker starting conditions express more limited expectations and less confidence in their chances of seeing them fulfilled, regardless of their talent or potential. It is therefore not just a question of differences in starting conditions, which may make everyone’s pathways more or less difficult, but of conditions that are so unequal that they prevent access to certain opportunities for growth in the early years of life. In this perspective, educational institutions can help reduce the gaps between students in their learning levels, but it is necessary to foster new policies with regard to the right to study, the guidance system and, by way of example, one could think of strengthening and making compulsory and free of charge 0-6 years education, that segment of education where those gaps inherited from the social class to which they belong can be filled.
