The report gives a brief history of its establishment and then talks about the advances of the school towards editorial and educational practices in citizen education the challenges of using apropriated technological tools: T.V. and Internet are also discussed. The report did not neglect to reveal the institutional and historical limitations for a truly democratic and citizen participation: subservience of the Legislative to the Executive branch, the patronage in the relationship between the representative and the constituent, the parliamentary corporation and impunity.
