Abstract

During the learning process, all knowledge must begin from the immediate surroundings of the subject that participates in the process, who has to become the gravity point of the learning. We the humans are, first of all, biological beings who live within a biosphere. Moreover, we are currently living the hatching of the Biology applied to our daily life, in many subjects ranging from biotechnology to ecology, biomedicine, nutrition, and energy, among many others. This fact entails that all citizens, that all students, need to have a minimum level of biological knowledge, according to their academic degree. Nowadays the learning of Biology in broad sense is obligatory from the pre-school to the completion of the obligatory secondary education. But, why is it not obligatory during the bachelors degree, which must serve as the basis for the students involved in the superior degree of professional formation and the university? In this article, the urgent need that the learning of Biology become again obligatory during the bachelors degree for all the students is discussed, independently of the academic route they follow, as it was several years ago, aiming to provide the new generations of citizens and professionals an integral formation suitable for a culturally and technically ever changing society.
