The fulfillment and social construction of the human identity is a permanent call to think it over in terms of practice and meaning. The present essay belongs to this kind of efforts.The objective of this research is to achieve a theoretical approach to the meaning and influence of the identity construction value, under fighting conditions, for social equality.This contribution lies on a grounded vision about education in an identity/difference relationship assuming that the search for social equality is fundamental. The notions were elaborated based on reflections made from the realities of all developing countries, in a century where the world faces a revolution in the field of technology while intolerance and social fundamentalism arise. The main conclusion is that the search for equality in the difference should be a priority for the social construction of identity and where education plays a key role.

Keywords : identity; values; education; equality; diversity.
