Abstract: This article discusses the dissemination of scientific knowledge in order to confront the complexity of the contemporary world marked by denialism and fake news. Denialism is in power and has been winning hearts and minds as a state policy, in the fight against science through the deliberate promotion of ignorance and misinformation, known as agnotology. In times of climate crisis and social, economic and political challenges, science, technology and innovation have become essential in improving the quality of education and social well-being for the population, especially with regard to the relationship between man and the environment. Given the current scenario of criticism of schools, our formulation is quite simple in this regard: schools are a historical invention and can, therefore, disappear. But this also means that schools can be reinvented, and this is precisely what we see as our challenge and, as we hope to make clear, our responsibility at the present time.
