Abstract

Law curricula have a low level of environmental inclusion. This is highly worrying in a formative educational context, because they’re precisely the instruments of educational management through which it’s possible to define and integrate the ethical content that is immersed in the legal axiology and transfer it to the classroom in a professional training perspective. From an educational model of neoliberal ascription, Chile has outlined the curricular conception towards pedagogical effectiveness. This approach has determined that it is seen as a country with a high educational offer for university higher education, but not necessarily in providing the student with the knowledge necessary for their future work. All of this is paradoxical in a country with a high rate of environmental conflict and a political and social legacy of deprivation of rights, which at least should have refocused public policies towards an ethical-educational discernment, guarantee of the principles of educational action.
