Summary/Abstract: Technological development, changes in the world economy, terrorist actions, migration of the civilian population from the conflict areas – all these are just some of the causes that led to significant changes in the security of the contemporary societies. These international circumstances demand new conceptual approaches on security, and regarding the following terms: vulnerability, threat, risk, economic and social stability. Thereby, it is required to rethink the ways of approaching the understanding, the identification, the protection and the optimization of the societal security. We consider that an integrative approach from the perspective of the educational system of all the factors of influence from within or from outside a certain society can achieve a comprehensive view of the dynamics of causes and effects, based on predictable algorithms and processes. Therefore, it is necessary to review the education system and to consider it as a basic factor able to generate national stability, to perpetuate the intrinsic values of a nation which is in a contextual contemporary framework which is difficult to characterize.
