Abstract
Professor Escolano's interview calls attention to the role of History of Education in the information society, and emphasizes its emancipating, critical and moral nature, even though both the globalisation movement and performativity have induced a certain lack of historicism. Nevertheless, historic-educational research in Spain is strong, and innovative approaches are on the increase. In this new History of Education, it is relevant to clarify the interactions and convergence between the scientific, political, and practical dimensions of the school culture. This analysis will probably help to acknowledge educators as agents that create the culture that is transferred to educational practice. The success of an educational reform is linked to acknowledging this dimension of educational culture. This and other considerations transmit the notion that the memory of education has an important and practical projection on the future
