II. JUSTIFICATION
The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela contemplates a

country project, whose rules impose the need to implement a new model of the
Bolivarian National Armed Force that satisfies the demands demanded by the
transformation processes at the national, regional and hemispheric level.
The general guidelines contemplated in the State's development plans guide
the formation of a Bolivarian National Armed Force that is characterized by:
A.- ITS ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WITH SPECIAL

EMPHASIS ON ITS INTERRELATION AND TREATMENT OF SOCIETY'S PROBLEMS,
WITH SUFFICIENT FLEXIBILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE INTERNAL ORDER, THE
DEFENSE OF THE INDEPENDENCE, SOVEREIGNTY OF THE NATION AND ENSURE
THE INTEGRITY TERRITORIAL.
B.- PROMOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE REINFORCEMENT OF THE INTEGRITY AND

INTEGRATION OF THE REGION AND THE HEMISPHERE, AS PART OF THE DEFENSE
SYSTEM.
C.- HAVE AN ESSENTIALLY PROFESSIONAL HUMAN RESOURCE, OF THE HIGHEST

QUALITY WITH A HIGH SENSE OF BELONGING AND COMMITMENT.
To achieve these goals, it is essential to consolidate and strengthen Military

Education, under the premise of constituting in our Armed Forces a solid
monolithic entity perfectly united to the interests of the State.
Military Education, in response to its special characteristics and
particularities, has been recognized by the State as a fundamental process to
achieve the goals of Security, Defense and Comprehensive Development of the
nation, which is why within the Venezuelan legal structure, has had a special
institutional interest with a connotation of legal status, expressly defined by Law.
Currently, Military Education gains more strength and preponderance with
the recent publication of the Organic Law of Education (2009); legal instrument
that governs education at the national level, as it not only consolidates its essential
purpose of ensuring the fulfillment of the mission of the Bolivarian National
Armed Forces, contained in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela, but also that of contributing to the “Teaching State” in the promotion,
integration and facilitation of the social participation of citizens in the defense of
sovereignty, national identity and territorial integrity. Consequently, a new

orientation is established that is not only limited to the military dimension, since it
provides legal tools for the promotion and consolidation of the civil-military union,
within Venezuelan society, which allow strengthening the interrelation of the
people with the Bolivarian National Armed Forces.
The Bolivarian National Armed Force is constituted by four Military
Components: Bolivarian Army; Bolivarian Navy; Bolivarian Military Aviation; and
Bolivarian National Guard, and complemented by the Bolivarian Militia, it is
essential from an educational point of view to form the Comprehensive Military
Education Plan.
The Third Transitory Provision of the Organic Law of the current
Bolivarian National Armed Forces establishes a period of one year for the
preparation of the Comprehensive Military Education Plan, representing,
therefore, a legal mandate of mandatory compliance by the Ministry of Popular
Power. for Defense, in its capacity as the highest administrative body in matters of
Comprehensive Security of the Nation. That is why the Vice Ministry of Education
for Defense constitutes the competent body of the Ministry of Popular Power for
Defense, to carry out such a task, in accordance with the powers conferred in the
current Ministerial Organic Regulation, as the Governing Entity of the Military
Educational Modality.
The Comprehensive Military Education Plan will be supported by the
philosophical and doctrinal foundations of the National Educational System, the
New Venezuelan Military Thought, in accordance with the ideological bases of our
Liberator Simón Bolívar, considering the strategies of the Simón Bolívar National
Project 2007–2013 and the educational policies and strategies established by the
Ministry of Popular Power for Defense, representing in educational praxis the
governing document of educational action within the armed institution, whose
provisions will be mandatory to consolidate Military education in the Armed Forces
Bolivarian National.
III. THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS
Generalities:
With the approval of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela (December 19, 1999), the process of refounding the country began to
establish a society: democratic, participatory, leading, multiethnic and
pluricultural. In this context, the legal framework that will govern education in our

country is institutionalized, where the following is established:
A.- EDUCATION AS A HUMAN RIGHT (ART. 102);
8 .- COMPREHENSIVE, QUALITY, PERMANENT EDUCATION AND EQUAL STATUS
(ART. 103);
C.- COMPULSORY EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS AND MODALITY (ART.103).
Fundamentals that contribute to the scope of a model of society, as
established in the preamble of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela, where the need to consolidate the values of freedom, independence,
peace, solidarity, common good, integrity is raised. territorial, dignity, respect,
equality, equity and justice. Values that stimulate political action, so that the
Venezuelan people act with political awareness, and thus achieve the construction
of a more humane and supportive society model, which consolidates the creation of
a new Republic; starting from the process of formation of the person, the family
and society.
The Simón Bolívar Strategic Plan (2007 – 2013) constitutes the visionary
strategy that reinforces the approaches outlined above, the essence of which focuses
on the following:
A.- NEW SOCIALIST ETHICS;
9 .- SUPREME SOCIAL HAPPINESS;
C.- LEADING AND REVOLUTIONARY DEMOCRACY;
D.- NEW SOCIALIST PRODUCTIVE MODEL;
E.- VENEZUELA ENERGY POWER; AND
F.- NEW INTERNATIONAL GEOPOLITICS.
The aforementioned legal and strategic approaches are intertwined with an
educational model, whose ideological foundation is the tree of the three roots (Simón
Rodríguez, Simón Bolívar and Ezequiel Zamora), basing its essence on the following:
A.- THE MORAL POWER AND THE GEOPOLITICAL VISION OF LATIN AMERICAN
INTEGRATION SUPPORTED BY THE IDEALS OF OUR LIBERATOR SIMÓN BOLÍVAR, IN
WHICH HE MAINTAINS THAT GREAT PROJECTS MUST BE PREPARED CALMLY, TO
FEARLESSLY LAY THE STONE OF AMERICAN FREEDOM, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TAKES
INTO ACCOUNT THE PARTICULARITIES THAT DEFINE THE CONTEXT OF WHAT IS
AMERICAN, AS STATED IN THE ANGOSTURA SPEECH OF 1819, WHERE HE EXPRESSED
THE FOLLOWING “… LET US KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE NOT EUROPEAN,
NOR NORTH AMERICAN, WHICH IS RATHER A COMPOSITE OF AFRICA AND AMERICA,

THAN A NATION OF EUROPE…”.
B.- POPULAR EDUCATION SUPPORTED BY THE IDEALS OF THE TEACHER SIMÓN
RODRÍGUEZ, FORMING THE ROBINSONIAN SYSTEM THAT IS FRAMED IN THE
FAMOUS EXISTENTIAL DILEMMA OF THE DICHOTOMY "EITHER WE INVENT OR WE
ERR", WHERE IT SEEKS TO ENCOURAGE THE INVENTIVENESS OF NEW INSTITUTIONS
FOR THE NASCENT REPUBLICS LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES, OR TO ERR ALONG THE
WAY, FALLING INTO THE SIMPLICITY OF COPYING MODELS FROM OTHER TIMES,
OTHER ATTITUDES AND OTHER MEN, THAT IS, IF WE DO NOT INVENT, WE FINALLY
FALL INTO ERROR.
C.- ENDOGENOUS DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTED BY THE IDEALS OF GENERAL EZEQUIEL
ZAMORA, WHO CALLS ON VENEZUELANS TO TAKE UP THE LIBERTARIAN FLAGS, TO
ACHIEVE EQUALITY AND TRUE INDEPENDENCE, A STRATEGY BASED ON A SOCIAL
POLICY, THE ESSENCE OF WHICH IS THE INCLUSION OF THE PEOPLE AS A
FUNDAMENTAL ACTOR FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIETY UNDER THE MOTTO
“FREE LANDS AND MEN”, CONSTITUTING IN ITS ESSENCE A FUNDAMENTAL PILLAR
OF THE IDEOPOLITICAL BASIS OF 21ST CENTURY SOCIALISM.
These ideological conceptions are those that currently govern the National
Educational System and consequently generate precepts in the construction of a new
dimension of Education that allows:
A.- CREATE POLITICAL AWARENESS AMONG THE PEOPLE TO ACTIVELY
PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESSES OF CHANGE IN THE COUNTRY.
B.- PROMOTE A NEW SOCIETY IN WHICH THE HUMAN BEING, AS ITS CENTER,
BECOMES THE SUBJECT OF ITS OWN TRANSFORMATION.
C.- STIMULATE THE FORMATION OF A THINKING, CREATIVE BEING, WITH FIRM

VALUES AND CONCEIVING A NEW WAY OF EXISTENCE.
D.- FROM A COMPREHENSIVE CONCEPTION, ENCOMPASSING MAN AS A WHOLE

AND HIS REALIZATION AS A HUMAN BEING.
E.- CONCEIVE MAN IN HIS HISTORICITY, IN HIS FUTURE AND IN HIS

DEVELOPMENT.
F.- FORM A COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS FOR THE ATTENTION OF TEACHING AND

LEARNING AS A COMPLEX UNIT OF HUMAN NATURE.
Education as a social phenomenon guides its action towards the search for

excellence and towards a previously defined purpose, with a transdisciplinary
educational vision, which implies the semantic and operational unification of the
different meanings that must be taught to conceptualize, concretize and globalize in the
educational field; applying new methods and strategies for the generation of
knowledge. The Student - School - Teacher relationship plays a very important role for
the advancement, evolution and transformation of a different society: humanistic, with
equity, law and justice, with new knowledge, open to new educational paradigms and
way of thinking and seeing the world from different spectrums.
This is why Military Education will be in accordance with the requirements of a

comprehensive education in accordance with the 21st Century, where, among other
aspects, priority will be given to: relevance, which lies in a proposal adjusted to the
expectations, needs, capabilities and characteristics of the Bolivarian National Armed
Force, considering the solution of the problems that affect the security and
comprehensive defense of the Venezuelan nation, through addressing conflicts and the
basic elements of coexistence and concentration in the face of reconstruction of a more
just and balanced social fabric; transdisciplinarity, which implies the need for meta-
disciplinary thinking, which goes beyond interdisciplinary; It is understood as the
interaction between the sciences and the concurrence of knowledge from different
disciplines around the study of problems related to the security and comprehensive
defense of the nation; integration, which reflects a solid harmony throughout the entire
academic path of military education, not only in the segment of formal academic
programs, but also non-formal ones and the promotion of creative thinking, which will
be in the search and generation of new solutions in all areas and activities of the
security and comprehensive defense of the nation.
In this sense, and in line with these changes, the Bolivarian National Armed
Forces intends to adapt its educational spectrum, through the implementation of a
Comprehensive Education Plan , where the rules and procedures are established to
unify the Military Educational System of the Military institution.
That is why the Comprehensive Education Plan is based on theoretical

foundations that explain the new Philosophical Conceptions and Educational
Theories or approaches, which support the new curricular construction, with an

open, flexible and contextualized approach, based on the emancipatory ideas of
Simón Rodríguez, Simón Bolívar and Ezequiel Zamora (tree of the three roots), in
which education is conceived as a historical-social process, Integral, permanent,
emancipatory and dignifying, which contributes to the formation of a transforming
citizen (as), with principles and values of cooperation, solidarity, coexistence, unity
and integration that allow a model of society that guarantees individual and
collective dignity and well-being; and therefore, the construction of a country where
there is social justice, equality and brotherhood, as established in the preamble of
the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Based on the above, the Comprehensive Education Plan orients its

educational action towards the search for human talent to train it as a new
republican, capable of serving the nation, adjusted to the institutional interest of the
Bolivarian National Armed Forces and the demands that national development
demands, adapted to new educational concepts; It is structured on its theoretical
foundations as follows:

IV. ACTION GUIDELINES OF THE MILITARY EDUCATIONAL MODALITY
A.- MILITARY EDUCATION as A MODALITY of THE National EDUCATIONAL system.

consolidation and development of an independent, free and sovereign
homeland.

processes of structural transformation of Venezuelan society, for the
construction of a new State with a more humanistic approach, and it is
precisely through of military education the fundamental process that allows
us to achieve such achievements within our organization.

American Continent, lover of peace and defender of human rights.

continuous development of the intellectual and physical capabilities of the
military and civilian personnel of the armed institution.
The military educational dynamic as a modality is complemented by

the National Educational System in order to exchange educational
experiences that, under the criteria of reciprocity and transparency, allow
the adaptation of processes, in order to contribute to the comprehensive
training of human talent. This is why Military Education is not isolated
from the National Educational context, since it maintains, within
Venezuelan society, an interrelation that is not only limited exclusively to
the Military Dimension, but also to a Civic-Military Dimension.

Subsystems and modalities of the National Educational System

B.- DEFENSE EDUCATION as AN integrating axis of THE National Educational

System
The current Organic Law of Education establishes in its article No.

06, that the Venezuelan State, through the national bodies with jurisdiction
in educational matters, will exercise stewardship in the Educational System,
specifying in “numeral 04”, the obligation and the duty to promote,
integrate and facilitate social participation in defense of sovereignty,
national identity and territorial integrity.
Taking such legal provision as a reference, it is evident that the
aforementioned task can only be achieved through education, with the

national bodies competent in the matter: the Ministry of Popular Power for
Education, as the Governing Body of Basic Education; the Ministry of
Popular Power for Higher Education, as the Governing Body of University
Education; and the Ministry of Popular Power for Defense, as the
Governing Body of Military Education.
Consequently, the implementation of a new educational dynamic with
a very particular focus is seen as a legal mandate within the functional
spectrum of the National Educational System: Education for Defense.
The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela defines and
establishes a model of social, participatory and leading democracy, which,
based on the principle of co-responsibility, expresses that not only is the
Bolivarian National Armed Force the mission of defense and integrity. of
the territory, but society as a whole, highlighting that education is the
fundamental process to achieve these goals.
The Organic Law of the National Armed Forces, establishes in its
article No. 4, a series of functions that implicitly promote the application of
the management of the military educational modality, beyond the scope of
military spaces, in order to integrate the Venezuelan society in the defense of
the homeland, that is, preparing and organizing the people for
Comprehensive Defense, with the purpose of contributing to the
independence, sovereignty and integrity of the geographical space of the
nation. Consequently, Defense Education allows us as an institution to
participate, from the military field, in the construction of a free, fair,
supportive, co-responsible and democratic society.
Based on the aforementioned approaches, Defense Education is

imposed as the integrating axis of the National Educational System, and it is
precisely the Ministry of Popular Power for Defense that is the competent
body to carry out such a task, since within In our own organization, changes
have been generated to adapt to the new legal and political structures of the
State, which has motivated a restructuring at the ministerial level that
provides a broader dimension to education: The creation of the Vice
Ministry of Education for Defense.
The Office of the Vice Minister of Education for Defense has the
responsibility of assuming the role of Governing Body of the Military
Educational Modality, and due to functional specificity, in the context of

public administration, has the duty to carry out the processes involved. the
adoption of education for the defense of the country, and thereby ensure the
fulfillment of the mission assigned to the Bolivarian National Armed
Forces. Consequently, the Ministry of Popular Power for Defense, by legal
mandate and functional specificity, assumes Defense Education as an
essential process of the Military Educational modality, to promote,
strengthen and disseminate the principles and values of Venezuelanness.
Education for Comprehensive Defense must mainstream the National Educational
System, in order to promote, integrate and facilitate social participation in the defense of
sovereignty, national identity and territorial integrity, in coordination with national
bodies with jurisdiction in educational matters. ..
Therefore, the general guidelines of action for the implementation of

Defense Education are the following:
1. THE OFFICE OF THE VICE MINISTER OF EDUCATION FOR DEFENSE,

AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE MILITARY EDUCATIONAL MODALITY,
WILL COORDINATE WITH THE MINISTER OF POPULAR POWER FOR
EDUCATION AND THE MINISTER OF POPULAR POWER FOR UNIVERSITY

NATIONAL POLYTECHNIC EXPERIMENTAL UNIVERSITY OF THE
BOLIVARIAN NATIONAL ARMED FORCES, DEPENDING ON ITS ACADEMIC
AUTONOMY, WILL CONTEMPLATE SUCH A SUBJECT IN ITS CURRICULAR
DESIGNS. THE OFFICIAL AND PRIVATE MILITARIZED MILITARY
EDUCATIONAL UNITS OF BASIC EDUCATION WILL ADJUST THEIR STUDY
PROGRAMS, INCORPORATING THE AFOREMENTIONED SUBJECT.
2. THE MINISTER OF POPULAR POWER FOR DEFENSE, THROUGH THE

VICE MINISTRY OF DEFENSE EDUCATION, WILL ESTABLISH AS A POLICY
OF THE MILITARY EDUCATIONAL MODALITY, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
DEFENSE EDUCATION, BY THE BOLIVARIAN MILITIA, IN ORDER TO
GUARANTEE THE FULFILLMENT OF ITS MISSION, WHICH WILL BE ORIENTED

B.- FOUNDATION of the curriculum:
1.- EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY: THE CURRICULUM that will support the
COMPREHENSIVE Education PLAN must be closely linked to the needs of the
Bolivarian National Armed Forces and to the new educational demands,
which contemplate in their transformation process, the harmonious and
coherent preparation of human talent, with interdisciplinary training and a
global vision, with thought
creative, broad and flexible mind, with the development of skills and abilities that allow him to handle himself
successfully in changing circumstances and in situations of uncertainty, chaos or ambiguity, capable of
promoting teamwork, participatory and democratic management and relationships based on the leadership,
trust, mutual respect and tenacity to achieve the proposed goals; All these characteristics define the profile of
the man or woman model that the Military Institution requires to carry out a new educational management
model, which contributes to the transformation of the environment, promotes professional growth, encourages
participation and responds with criteria of excellence. and efficiency to the requirements of the military field
and to the change processes that are generated therein. From this perspective, the Bolivarian National Armed
Forces, through the Comprehensive Education Plan, must guarantee a curriculum that responds to the
principles of equity, quality, permanent education, and the efficient use of resources, in order to promote a
dynamic educational process through research and development, at all levels, to take on the new challenges of
21st century Education. Considering the above, the Curriculum must give importance to learning that involves
the formation of an integral human being (holistic knowledge), social, supportive, critical, creative and self-
taught; For this reason, it must have supports that give it coherence and influence its design and development;
Consequently, this Curriculum assumes ontological, axiological and epistemological premises that will guide
and guide the teaching-learning process 3 . These are:

Likewise, this Design is supported in the light of the following philosophical Currents
PHILOSOPHICAL CURRENTS ( 4 )
Pragmatics Learning is carried out based on knowledge, focusing its strength on the development of a society in
constant change through a new collective morality, social production, territorial equity and the
formation of a multipolar world; in accordance with the process of sociocultural interaction and in
correspondence with the needs of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces.

It proposes education as the critical moment of social practice, as the realization of the dialectical
Dialectics method: action – reflection – action, where awareness and educational action are considered, as an
inherent instrument of social and political practice.
Likewise, the curriculum must contemplate the relationship between all the elements that make up the
Study Plan. Therefore, the curriculum in the Military Educational Modality should focus on the following
educational approaches : 5

2. Learn to live together and participate: Prepare citizens to successfully face the social and personal demands of each stage
