Abstract
France has several specialities, among which the development of didactical research, the way teachers are trained and the national public service characteristics of education. Research in didactics is developing in most countries, and especially in France. Application of such research leads to the elaboration of products, of tools for teaching and learning, of educational environments and of pedagogical strategies (such as co-operative work). The integration of ICT in the school of the future may lead to a uniform education around the world. How can we preserve the diversity and the local specialities? How can we take benefit of the positive aspects of the globalisation, while avoiding the negative ones? In many countries, education is a public service, and the state has the responsibility of equity in education, so that every pupil may have similar chances regarding education. Are we going towards a liberalisation of education? How can the fundamental values of education be preserved? The integration of ICT in education changes the knowledge and the way one can access the knowledge. Therefore, the role of the teacher is changing. What will be the future teaching profession?
