Abstract
The precise definition of needs, as far as possible, is an essential prerequisite in the design of the education system. Although the process of teaching is usually lengthy, the period that actually serves to instill specific skills for a particular need is very short, as it does not exceed two years. For this reason, it is often possible to rely on predictions to determine the needs of the education system to be designed. However, in areas where these needs are changing very quickly, so much so that forecasts become almost impossible, we can get around the problem until things are clearer and real needs appear before deciding whether to take them into account or not, in the development of the education system. This way of proceeding requires that the latter be flexible enough to respond quickly to new needs. This flexibility is particularly evident in the speed with which content is introduced into programs that meet these needs, and the establishment of a permanent training system that is effective enough to upgrade the skills of teachers.
