Espacio escolar y utopía universalizadora Definiciones, tensiones y preguntas en torno a lo espacial y la ampliación del derecho a la escolaridad

Abstract

This paper inquires upon the right to education, the claim to school universality and the school space within the framework of the expansion of the compulsory nature of school. One of the central questions is how can we create a school space that accommodates everyone? To do this, we first did a tour among several schools and problematized the concept of “school space”, analyzing other ways of naming and giving meaning to it based on the contributions of different sciences and disciplines such as pedagogy, geography, architecture and sociology, among others. In a second stage of the process, we delved into the analysis of the relationship between Comenius' legacy of “teaching everything to everyone”, the current legislation on education and inclusion, and the issue of school space, pointing out some tensions and challenges to consider.
