Economical factors and different cultural heritage promotes several problems for the society, the school and the teachers. Students from different social and cultural environments lead to specific educational policies by the educational system. But this is not an easy task. First, because the change cycle in a complex system are not in agreement with the actual politic. Second, because it is necessary to overcome the existent culture, to break down some mentality resistances and behaviour’s.
