Inclusive education aims to reduce barriers to learning and promote the participation of any type of individual, regardless of their personal situations. It aims to respond to individuals who have special educational needs as well as any person with other difficulties and needs. In short, inclusive education defends the adaptation of educational processes so that everyone can be included.
Inclusion in education implies:
Evaluate all students and teachers in the same way.
Increase student participation in the cultures, curriculum and institutions of the community to which the center belongs and, consequently, reduce their exclusion.
Restructure the cultures, policies and practices of schools in ways that cater to the diversity of students in their area.
Lower barriers to learning and participation for all students, not just those with disabilities or "special educational needs."
Learn from the efforts that schools make to overcome barriers to access and participation of specific students, making changes that more broadly benefit all students.
View the difference between students as a resource to support learning, rather than a problem to be overcome.
Recognize the right of students to be educated in the area in which they live.
Improve the centers, both in terms of teachers and students.
Emphasize the role of the centers when it comes to building community and developing values, as well as improving their results.
Promote relationships of mutual support between community centers and institutions.
Recognize that inclusion in education is one more aspect of inclusion in society.
