Its study is approached from multiple and diverse perspectives, especially recognizing its importance in the educational development of a country. This article analyzes the figure and function of teachers from the perspective of social justice and curricular justice, two powerful concepts that make us look at the pedagogical practices developed by teachers in schools; at the type of training provided to children and young people and, consequently, at the subjectivities and collectivities that are configured from the educational point of view. That is, the questioning of the role of teachers as promoters of a dominant and unjust social structure or as teachers who bring about changes from their micro-spaces aimed at forming people with thoughts and actions that allow them to forge fairer, more plural, and inclusive societies.La figura, función y formación del profesorado ha sido un tema de constante análisis y debate. Su estudio puede ser abordado desde múltiples y diversas perspectivas, sobre todo reconociendo la importancia que reviste en el desarrollo educativo de un país. Precisamente, en el presente texto se analiza la función e importancia de la figura del profesorado desde la justicia social y la justicia curricular, dos conceptos potentes que nos hacen volcar la mirada en las prácticas pedagógicas que desarrollan las y los docentes en los centros escolares; en el tipo de formación que se le brindan a los niños, a los jóvenes; en la consciencia que se les configura desde los espacios educativos institucionales. Esto es, el cuestionarse acerca de la función del profesorado de situarse como promotor de una estructura social dominante e injusta o la de ubicarse como un docente que gesta cambios desde sus microespacios encaminados a formar personas con pensamientos y actuaciones que permitan forjar sociedades más justas, plurales e incluyentes.  The figure and role of teachers has been the subject of extensive analysis anddebate.
