Abstract

Abstract. In the last decades, the national and international reality is faced with multiple problems like the limited nature of natural resources, demographic growth, environmental deterioration, proliferation of conflicts between nations, increasing gaps between poor countries and rich countries, etc. Due to their regional and universal dimensions, these aspects constitute a complex phenomenon generically named "the problem of the contemporary world". This concept was introduced by the Club of Rome, founded in 1968 under the leadership of A. Peccei, as an institution that brings together specialists from all over the world concerned with the evolution and the destiny of people globally. Naturally, educational systems must respond to the demands of these realities and the challenges launched by the social space. The specific conservatism of educational systems, however, causes them to lag behind in relation to social demands, which generates a very uncomfortable phenomenon, identified in the education crisis. These causes are diverse and obvious, including currently at the level of education systems. The proposed solutions for solving the world education crisis fall under several directions of socio-pedagogical action.
