Comprehensive training for social appropriation of knowledge

Abstract

Comprehensive training (humanistic, scientific, technological and innovative) constitutionally stands at the fundamental in the effective social appropriation of knowledge for the transformation of pseudoscientific social practices, towards a social and productive training organized in the humanistic, scientific and ancestral knowledge. This aspect upon not being considered by the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation (Law 1286, 2009) nor by the CONPES 3582 of 2009, throws into question it’s judicial validity, as by placing the emphasis on the social appropriation of knowledge in informal education (media, scientific articles, science fairs, shows, etc..) rather than in comprehensive training, unaware of the potential social effectiveness of the formal education system in achieving the vision of multicultural, independent and sovereign. This article reflects the political legitimacy and legal validity of the comprehensive training given in the Letter to the formal education system, in carrying out its public function to enable the social appropriation of scientific knowledge and ancestral condition of the cultural transformation of our nation as a society and the economy of knowledge.
