How 21st century education should be

This whitepaper articulates a proposal for deep curricular reform in the Ibero-American educational systems, starting from the diagnosis that the current curricula —designed for the industrial 20th century— prepare new generations for a world that no longer exists. Five new axes are proposed to be introduced transversally across all educational levels (primary, secondary and higher): critical thinking under AI, applied ethics, human-agent collaboration, pedagogical prompt design and emotional literacy. A realistic Ibero-American implementation roadmap 2026-2035 is delivered, focused on teachers, infrastructure and ministerial governance. The thesis: it is not about adding subjects — it is about rewriting the meaning of educating.
