ABSTRACT
The cultural heterogeneity that educational policy pretended to override, greatly increased in many European countries with the internal and external migratory movements which accompanied the economic growth since War World Two, and it has been extended to the Mediterranean since the shift in the migratory fluxes following the economic crisis of the 1970s. In 1959, a change in economic policy was made as an attempt to end Spain’s political isolation. This change involved an agricultural and industrial shift, and as a result, a fast growth of unemployment and a new migratory flow in two different ways: one internal, from rural to urban areas, and another to the northern European countries. The 1990 Educational Reform Act which allows more autonomy to the universities has been the starting point of curriculum diversity in the training of teachers, and since then developments have varied from one university to another.
