Abstract

This article presents the main results of the research which analyzes the political and educational reality from a systemic perspective of education. The starting points of this study are the review of educational legislation, the educational proposals of the political parties that won parliamentary representation in the elections of 27 September 2015, the contributions of social movements and the contributions of experts, from which we delimit the fundamental ideas that should orient the role of education, educational administration, educational inspection and financing of education in a systemic perspective of education in Catalonia. Together with a legislative review and a document analysis, we have studied two focus groups with the participation of different actors and protagonists of the educational community. The main results obtained allow us to conclude, among other things, that there is a need to review the role of education in our society and its Public Administration in order to overcome the dysfunctions observed, which currently hinder the meeting of challenges.
