Cultural Welfare and Social Policies in Education

Cultural Welfare

Cultural welfare aims to create a collective consciousness of human coexistence, built from the amalgamation of principles (liberty, equality, justice, pluralism) and linked to improving the quality of life and common welfare. It has three basic elements:

  • Universal guarantee of minimum welfare
  • Recognition of full rights and freedoms
  • Commitment to joint and several liabilities

There are three socio-political challenges:

  • Prosperity is not possible without education
  • Overcoming the handouts of welfare states
  • A guarantee of future culture is necessary for the necessary culture

Social Education Policy

This discipline is responsible for reflecting on the principles or values that should guide our socio-educational intervention.

Social Policies

These are various strategies or tools used to change and/or optimize social reality. The foundation of social policy is in education. There is a need for synergy.

Concerted Plan

This is an agreement between almost all autonomous communities – Navarre and the Basque Country collaborate with the Central Administration to secure the resources necessary for the establishment and development of primary care services in all populations.

Social Programs

  • Information, Advice, and Orientation: On rights and resources
  • Coexistence: Promoting integration
  • Social Cooperation: Boosting community life
  • Prevention and Social Integration: Involvement with children who need support and those who are marginalized
  • Emergency: Providing care for basic needs

Social Pedagogy in Civil Society

From the field of pedagogy, there is an interest in improving or achieving higher educational levels, both for schools and cities. In general, it tries to eke out public offerings, enabling their appearance. Educational developments embrace those ways as needed and are seen as strategies for solving problems or improving situations that affect the community. They are developed by educational circuits parallel to the official ones and are specially created for them. There are new perspectives on education and pedagogy.

Clause of Social Status

This is a high expression of the principle of substantive equality that is materialized in Article 9.2. It means that the state should promote positive action in the service of freedom and project towards the promotion of conditions for equality.

Spaces of Political Action: The Social Field

Welfare Area

This area aims to strengthen social security, seeking integration through assistance programs and loans. It is designated for social correction, combating poverty and exclusion through educational strategies, whose components are essential for the efficiency and continuity of the effects of social policies.

Entertainment Area

This area acts as an agent of change and social revitalization. Programs are established with policies that seek greater articulation and social cohesion (promotion, cultural democracy, and community development). Without education, we cannot form the backbone of the 21st century.

Citizenship Area

This area focuses on building competence in the domain of “reality.” These are programs that lead individuals to behave as citizens, aware of their rights and responsibilities. It balances the right to education and freedom of the human personality with a sense of belonging or communal responsibility.
