(CONTINUOUS PUBLICATION MODE)

Varela Journal (https://revistavarela.uclv.edu.cu), an educational publication managed by the Faculty of Early Childhood Education at Marta Abreu Central University of Las Villas, is pleased to present to its readers and contributors, as part of its ongoing publication, issue 72, corresponding to the September-December 2025 period, whose monographic section will address the topic:

COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION IN TODAY'S SOCIETY

Comprehensive education, in general terms, is one of the fundamental tools by which human beings can achieve their maximum development, both academically and professionally and personally. Today's complex and rapidly changing world requires comprehensive professionals who are not only capable of contributing their expertise to the development of a particular sector, but who also actively contribute as citizens to the construction of a more equitable, supportive, inclusive, and free society.

Comprehensive education involves an intentional learning perspective, aimed at strengthening a responsible, ethical, critical, participatory, creative, and supportive personality with the ability to recognize and interact with their environment in order to build their cultural identity. It is also oriented towards a conception more related to the modern world, given that the new skills, competencies, and development needs of individuals are more focused on autonomy, creativity, and the ability to inquire and think, which favor their harmonious and balanced development, particularly in times of rapid change.

Specifically, this issue offers contributions in its MONOGRAPHIC section that address research, innovations, and experiences in educational practice related to the aforementioned theme, tempered by the demands of today's society. Likewise, this issue features articles in its EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH section that are unrelated to the monographic theme, expressing the results of scientific work from different angles within the field of education. This issue will be completed as the process of reviewing, editing, and formatting the submitted articles is finalized, and will close at the end of December 2025.
