The National Plan for Education and the information and communication technologies

Abstract

Technology holds an increasingly essential position in today's society: it can no longer be defined as the sum of new operational techniques. It has become a modus vivendi, a social process that determines both the identity configurations of individuals and the educational process. In this context, the authors reflect on the way information and communication technologies, the so called ICT, were treated in the final resolution of the National Conference of Education whose notes will serve as a basis to elaborate the guidelines and action strategies of the new 2011-2020 National Plan for Education.
