This paper has the objective of presenting a series of reflections on some of the conditions that make school experience possible, conceiving school as a matter of public interest that mediates the relationship between new generations and the world, and that is the product of centuries of cultural experiences. With this aim, it reviews three relevant texts: The Crisis in Education, by Hannah Arendt; Pedagogy: The Duty of Resisting, by Philippe Meirieu, and In Defence of the School. A Public Issue, by Maarten Simons y Jan Masschelein. The health emergency from the pandemics related to Covid-19 is an appropriate time to rethink some basic questions on what gives sense to this institution we call School. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
