Introduction
Inclusive education is one that seeks to address the learning deficiencies of all boys, girls, young people and adults, with special emphasis on those who are vulnerable to marginality and social exclusion.[1] It is a process that the entire society must experience, since it is the starting point to normalize the education of all students and in the same way provide various opportunities for the development of people who have or live with disabilities or marginalization due to cultural, social or cultural conditions. economic.[2].
Likewise, one of the basic principles of inclusive education is that which mentions that each child has different characteristics, interests and learning abilities, therefore certain changes and modifications are involved in content and strategies which achieve inclusion and fulfill the purpose of educating everyone by responding to this range of educational needs.[3].
Addressing the definition of inclusive education is difficult in that it is possible to find various conceptualizations such as special education which, although according to the definition of Birch (1974),[4] is a unification of ordinary education and special education that seeks to offer all students the necessary educational services, based on their individual needs; Given this, it is necessary to break with the ideology of thinking that inclusive education is synonymous with special education; since what inclusive education attempts is an integration of a dynamic and open learning process for all students with or without disabilities so that they are involved in a favorable context. This ideologically charged problem regarding the misinterpretation of special education has led inclusive education to be enclosed in an exclusive core within educational establishments; forgetting that it is part of the entire institution to implement strategies that renounce the misinterpreted special-inclusive binomial.
Although the concept of inclusive education can be associated with an educational response that integrates boys and girls with special abilities into regular schools; The term is broader, and refers to a progressive transformation of educational systems, aimed at ensuring that they provide quality education to all people equally and adapted to the reference. Likewise, this method that seeks a way to transform educational systems and ensure that they respond to the diverse needs of students has a lot to do with the elimination of barriers in school learning, and the search for participation of all people who are vulnerable to exclusion, which is why it is important to know how well things are done.
