To innovate does not accept the impererative

Résumé

This article does not seek to revise in a exhaustive way the educative innovation taking place in “Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia”. It is an overall view which explains the how and the why actions of change are developing at schools not to meet internal needs already felt but imposed from the outside by political powers. These political powers, taking into account the social demands, estipulate the lines of action most suitable for the system. This factor of distance and obligatory mandate, somehow, perverts, to our judgement, the intrinsic kindness of the proper action of innovation, which is meant to be something singular in every context, to serve its own interests. In addition, it tries to show as these administrative conditions, felt most of the time as excessive, cause dysfunctions to the proper process of innovation, as they annotate limited temporary spaces (beginning and pre-established ends) which break with the idiosyncrasy of a way of permanent change, in which is to be developed the action of the change.
