and &#8220;education&#8221;?\u00a0Well, we are referring specifically to the nation-state, recently configured, but still new in terms of political development, and also to the academic group of historians.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What will happen between the State and historians?\u00a0The professionalization of history will be born by the hand of the State, but above all of the nation, a problematic concept, even to this day.<\/p>\n<p>So why does the nation-state need the collective of historians?\u00a0To not extend too much, this would be summarized as follows: the State needs the nation to legitimize itself as a power structure after the revolutionary processes of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.<\/p>\n<p>But, at the same time, the nation needs a story, that is, a story to build a national identity that serves as a true social and cultural glue in prospective.<\/p>\n<p>The result?\u00a0The construction of national stories or general stories of the nation that today we know as country stories (of Spain, Chile, Mexico, France, Morocco, China, Japan and a long etc.).<\/p>\n<p>But what about our second axis, that of education?\u00a0This is answered with a question: how did the state, and still do, to build citizenship?<\/p>\n<p>This will be done through a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/revistas.uam.es\/tendenciaspedagogicas\/article\/view\/1710\">centralized<\/a>\u00a0educational system\u00a0that ultimately revolves around\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.memoriachilena.gob.cl\/602\/w3-article-3565.html#presentacion\">nations<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>And this is where our third axis comes in:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Citizenship or citizenship training<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The educational system of each country, of each nation, of each State, is responsible for building educational-training plans in what is called schooling.\u00a0Thus, from school, childhood and early youth will be built around certain values, concepts, norms and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/revistas.unal.edu.co\/index.php\/hisysoc\/article\/view\/39775\/47843\">perceptions<\/a>\u00a0.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Extension of this educational system<\/h4>\n<p>Throughout the twentieth century, what we have been able to verify is a progressive evolution of the extension and massification of this educational system\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlas.siteal.iipe.unesco.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Siteal_c2_download_1.pdf\">throughout the world<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Of course, at different speeds and with the relevant features, but for the same purposes.\u00a0Today our world remains the ruler under the liberal-republican ideal of nations.<\/p>\n<p>We have been under this model for more than two hundred years.\u00a0And all this in spite of the globalization or the revolutionary technological processes that advance at a dizzying speed without hardly realizing it.<\/p>\n<p>Is school history important in the formation of societies today?\u00a0There is much talk about the importance of history, but do we really know the consequences that this has in the construction of young people&#8217;s perceptions of what happens in the world?<\/p>\n<p>There is a &#8220;professionalizing gene&#8221; in history to which every historian owes &#8220;academic loyalty&#8221;: the nation.\u00a0But not only the nation, also the State, and even the almighty republican liberalism (or, put another way, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k8vVEbCquMw&amp;t=\">representative government<\/a>\u00a0republics in\u00a0force today).<\/p>\n<h4>Does school history influence the civic education of young people of the 21st century?<\/h4>\n<p>History not only matters in this area, but it is fundamental.\u00a0Such is its importance that when a ministry or government tries to eliminate it from the curriculum, teachers take to the streets, as is happening today in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.curriculumnacional.cl\/614\/w3-article-89597.html?fbclid=IwAR2C0Qomzi51Ow58uq2Y2XNRqXzetmI7HXnV_mgCYc7QIYpB_UhsE2DYIAI%20%22%22%20%20https:\/\/www.nodal.am\/2019\/05\/chile-la-nueva-reforma-educativa-es-imprescindible-la-asignatura-de-historia-en-las-escuelas-del-siglo-xxi-por-gonzalo-andres-garcia-fernandez\/\">Chile<\/a> , for example.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48965\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48965\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48965\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ChileCoup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ChileCoup.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ChileCoup-250x182.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coup d&#8217;etat of September 11, 1973 in Chile.
