MARTI-NOGUERA, Juan José  and  MARTI-VILAR, Manuel. Social responsibility in basic and higher education: An approach for Latin-America. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.1, pp.27-39. ISSN 1519-3993.  https://doi.org/10.122015/edupuc377112853.

This paper offers a review of basic and higher education in relation to social responsibility in Latin-American countries, in order to formulate an approach to the state of art. Taking this objective into account, a brief exploratory study is completed on education policy documents from multilateral organisms such as United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the Organization of Latin-American Countries. The paper highlights that after the discourse, education must land skills, amongst others, related to being a responsible citizen, and a psychology-based foundation is presented.. The paper refers to some experiences in which education and the evaluation of citizenship education are compatible. The conclusion argues the suitability of establishing a policy of international assessment of education in the values of social responsibility to be carried out by citizens throughout the entire educational process.

Keywords : Citizenship; Education; Social responsibility.
