Twenty-first century professionals need a special training that enables them to venture into various branches of knowledge. Therefore, they must have an original thinking and innovation skills; they must be part of their training, take a dignified position in the social context they live in and be committed to its mission. The University, as a social institution, should include in their training models social problems and transformation processes, so that students learn and teachers teach with true meaning and significance. At university level, values education is centered in the practical teaching-learning process and is based on study and work.
