The study was oriented to analyze the values that regulate the ethical behavior of teachers in public educational institutions of the municipality of Barrancas, Department of La Guajira Colombia. It was based on theoretical -conceptual approaches, in terms of Management by Values, organizational ethics and codes of ethics, of authors such as Guédez (2007), Fernández (2005), Graterol (2008), Frontodona (2007), Contreras (2011), Rockeach (1974), among others. Methodologically, the research is of analytical type supported by a mixed documentary and field design, given the qualitative and quantitative nature of the study.

The validity of the questionnaire was determined through the Expert Judgment, the discriminant analysis and the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, which resulted in 0.93. For reliability, Statistics of the two halves were used, yielding a result of 0.92.

I visit my dear professor, Pedro Ortega, in his house, on a quiet afternoon in the Murcian autumn. I find him sitting in front of his computer, surrounded by the books that have accompanied him in the last years of his academic life: Levinas, Adorno, Horkheimer, Ortega, Buber, Mounier, Derrida, Steiner. And other authors with whom he maintains a close friendship: Mèlich, Duch, Zamora. Why these books, Pedro, and not others? At my age, Eduardo, I only have time and desire to read those books that force me to ask questions. The others, I find boring.As you can see I have made a selection of those authors who mark a very specific line of thought and who depart from the idealist philosophy that has long configured the thinking and life of Western society, with the results that are in sight .

Some of the articles in this issue orbit around the ethical topic, Education and Research. In particular, those who defend the ethical and anthropological vision of education, which continues to be a liability in the processes of reflection and formation. This is the case of editorial work by the Spanish pedagogue Pedro Ortega, creator of the Pedagogy of Otherness and member of the Redipe Quality Committee. With Professor Eduardo advance a relevant conversation on the subject.The other articles are articulated to topics of ethics and research, attitude, inclusion and coexistence, among others.

The social and educational problems of vulnerable sectors require the attention of governmental entities that are destined for early childhood, that is to say, they must be committed in the search for alternative solutions, due to a lack of leadership and autonomy, this has a negative impact on the integral development in a society. That is why indifference and apathy has impoverished the quality of life of vulnerable sectors. Likewise, the issue of early childhood policy in integral care, such as the construction of equity of vulnerable sectors in the new campaign, Dibulla municipality jurisdiction, La Guajira, emerges as a felt need, due to situations of abandonment that became visible in the However, early childhood policies guarantee the cognitive, psychosocial, nutritional performance, health of an individual, which allows the inclusion of welfare programs aimed at effectively targeting vulnerable populations. It is for this reason that Grunewald and Rolnick (2006) expresses that the potential of future inequalities between people is reduced. We perceive a rate of return to investments in human capital, which decreases the greater theage of intervention of the children.
