Abstract
In Latin America and the Caribbean, the 21st century is configured as the era where technological innovations cover all areas in which society develops, such as philosophy, politics, social sciences, basic sciences, among others. In this regard, technoscientific education (ETCS) is known as the set of disciplines that interact to study the social aspects of science and technology in relation to the educational field for society. In this sense, there are organizations that promote education for all as a right, as established by UNESCO, however, technoscientific education has opened the pedagogical debate by inferring that the inequality of social classes corresponds to a
precondition for their accessibility. This means that social classes could determine the success of a society applying a technological culture or not. However, it is a matter of government entities that direct a country to enforce policies that can guarantee its citizens a quality education, social equity and respect for human rights using educational perspectives, models and theories that propose education as an acquisition of interdisciplinary knowledge.
