Abstract

The present social, economic and educative planning is orientated to identify objectives more than create them, to continue with reality mote than transformate it; this is a sort of planning called “realistic” and it's really impossible to change society's direction. The author propose us what the calls an utopian planning, a climax of thought to open the mind to the crativity. The difference between realistic and utopian planning consists on: the first one has some development objectives and the utopian one has only one and unic objective to get, to catch. The way to reach at that wanted utopia depend of the avaibles resorts. The only function that the development system has given to the teaching institution is to form resorts for the productive system and has fergotten the roll of improve man. The man, the autentic axis of development, has been changed into one of his creations, the production of objects. This sort of realistic planning is not enough to introduce new scientific and technical advances at the teaching institutions, they continue using the blackboard and the chalk. The training period of XXI century, there are 19 years left, will require from the system major participation on its future: technologie will make easer and faster information; day's journey will decrease and craetive-free time will increase; teaching system will get back to his own work: help man on his training. This man's future preparation is the most important objective for the utopian planning and it will start now. ”The only one expectation is to plan the Utopia and walk diligent to It”.
