ANÁLISIS DE FACILITADORES Y BARRERAS EN EDUCACIÓN RURAL EN CHILE: INCLUSIÓN EN UN PAÍS SEGREGADO

Abstract

The article presents participatory research with 6 Chilean rural schools and focuses on facilitators and barriers to inclusion. This is in the context of highly seg-regated education, with an accelerated closure of rural schools and the Inclusion Law, focused on access to school. Through participatory workshops with teachers and meta-analysis of the team, results are organized at the school, intermediate and public policy levels. The participants emphasize the contextualization of the practices, the fundamental role of the holders of the schools and the need for specific public policies for the sector. It is concluded that the teacher can not be positioned as responsible for solving the problems of social segregation in the classroom, and that rural education has specificities not contemplated by the intermediate level or urban-urban public policy.
