The evolution of educational policies: from integration to inclusion

Abstract

Inclusive education systems are based on an analysis of rights, which can give students autonomy, celebrate diversity, combat discrimination and promote more inclusive societies, which can be a very favorable method to end inequalities, even being able to end discrimination that is deeply rooted in society, showing greater diversity in social groups. This article integrates the analysis the recognition of the fundamental right to education and the best interests of the child, from the interpretative framework of the state duty in the promotion of equality and the fight against discrimination not only in the state framework, but through the international commitments in the matter. Inclusive education will mean a higher level of education that will allow a wider range of educational strategies, as many as educational needs are demanded by the diversity of students and allow the inclusion of children regardless of the degree of functional diversity they suffer or the situation of marginality in which they are.
