Abstract: The search for the new frame are intensifying, they become more intense. Their tragedy is the imbalances that appear and develop in a dynamic world, in the extensive-intensive enigma.
And everything is examined from the point of the view of finances and resources. And this is not a recent turn of events. The “idea that the riches of a nation reside in work and qualification“ (The Evaluation of Systems and of the Educational Processes) appeared in the XVII th century. The Mercantilists included the spendings for education in the “profitable investments in the human capital“ section.
It’s no longer a secret that the increase of the Gross National Product is caused by education too. But the increase of GNP becomes a rule for the development of the educational system.
What then are the meanings, the goals of education? In this aspect, a considerable role belongs to the researchers.
In a world full of transformations it is not easy to issue definite theories related to the academic training and its objectives in the 21st century or the 3rd millennium.
In a world full of contrasts, the intelligentsia will take the dominant role in the control and management of the economic development that will come together with
a qualitative improvement of life in general.
If we formulate an image of the school of the future we can also develop certain financial prognosis or, in a larger sense, economic prognosis regarding the consolidation, the permanence of the school, of the type of school chosen.
