MORA GARCIA, José Pascual. Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa’s educational philosophy and its contribution to the current educational history: Analysis of the indicators of the inclusion policies in education 1998-2006. Educere [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.42, pp.615-624. ISSN 1316-4910.

During the 20th century in Venezuela the main manager of a philosophical educational thought was the teacher Luis Betrán Prieto Figueroa. In the 1948 Organic Law Project on National Education, he stated the principles of the educational philosophy with the name of DEMOCRATIC HUMANISM which served as a base to his thinking. Since 1999, with the Bolivarian Education his thoughts are revisited among the philosophical postulates, which is why are dedicated to their analysis in order to determine the ideological reach in the current education. Secondly, we make an analysis of the results of the inclusion policy of the Bolivarian educational project inspired on Prieto Figueroa’s ideas, in particular, the thesis of an education of caste to an education for the masses. Finally, we remember that the teacher Prieto Figueroa bet on a political project though being both socialist and democratic was also plural; today, when the liniments of the 21st century socialism are discussed, we must remember his legacy.

Palabras clave : educational philosophy; humanism; democracy.
