El trabajo con la diversidad desde el currículo en escuelas con presencia de niños y niñas migrantes: Estudio de casos en escuelas de Santiago de Chile

Abstract

The presence of migrant children in Chilean schools has posed a series of challenges regarding their inclusion in the education system. Qualitative research was conducted in four elementary schools and in one lycée in Santiago de Chile to explore how educational establishments' standard curriculums include the diversity represented by migrant children, as well as the adaptations made by teachers to make sure they are learning. The main findings show that schools generally organize independence day celebrations and culinary events, confusing the issue of diversity with folklore. No lasting strategy exists to increase the levels of curricular adaptation to ensure inclusiveness.
