The knowledge society need to believe in their values: everyone should learn, should get involved in the development-innovation of institutions and technologies, one should search so as to solve the complex problems of the life and community in which one lives. The new assumed challenges at the level of the educational systems - the axial line of the curriculum on competences, the considerable increase of the flexibility of the curriculum and the digitalization of it - are potentialities which risk remaining poorly turned to good account without a proper training of the teaching staff and of the school managers. We must create and put at hand of schools, directors and teachers, the tools for analysing the need to learn, for analysing the pupils’ characteristics, for projecting and valuation of a decentralized curriculum, so as the new curriculum should have a maximum of cognitive effects over the pupils. In a society based on information, in which knowledge and creativity are key factors, the investment made in the human capital must become an assumed priority at the level of educational politics level. The increase of quality in the field of education and implicitly in all the fields of the social life, presupposes the reconsideration of politics, of the models and of the strategies of training and developing the human resources which should contribute to the stimulating of competitiveness and co-operation, to the promotion of innovation, change, a flexible training, and also to the turning to account the new informational and communicational technologies.
