This article deals with the intrinsic relationship between education, schooling and formation. In the Greece of the classical period, the Greeks sought the original meaning of a person's formation for public life, in view of the existence of the polis and the excellent and righteous man, which requires constant care and vigilance over people's interests and wills. This is the reason for the meaning and fundamental importance given to paideía, to education as civic and cultural formation for effective participation in collective life. Having taken the opposite path, today education and schooling have got lost in concerns about what is practical, utilitarian, qualification, professionalization, preparation for the labor market, and have forgotten the primary meaning of their existence, namely, to see to it that people, society and humanity seek excellence and a virtuous life. Education, different schooling, is are not only possible but necessary and working to bring this about is defending the cause of autonomy, freedom, politics, and the primacy of public life and ethics.
