      INTRODUCTION

      CONTEXTUALIZATION OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION IN TODAY'S SOCIETY

      1. Valuing Diversity in Education

      Valuing diversity is one of the fundamental pillars of inclusive education. Rather than seeing diversity as an obstacle, inclusive education recognizes the richness of experiences, cultures, skills and perspectives that each student brings to the classroom. This appreciation is essential for building a welcoming school environment, where each student feels respected and recognized in their individuality.

      By emphasizing the importance of diversity, inclusive education promotes the construction of a fairer and more plural society, where coexistence with differences is valued and encouraged from childhood. This prepares students to become more tolerant, empathetic and open to dialogue citizens, essential characteristics for building a more harmonious and egalitarian society.

      2. Overcoming Historical Barriers

      Inclusive education also represents an ongoing struggle to overcome historical barriers that have excluded certain groups of students from the educational system. Throughout history, people with disabilities, learning difficulties and other special needs have often been segregated and deprived of access to quality education.

      The search for inclusive education aims to break with this exclusionary paradigm, providing equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their differences. Overcoming historical barriers is a complex process that requires continuous efforts on the part of society as a whole, but it is a worthwhile journey to build a fairer and more equitable educational system.

      3. Fight against Exclusion and Discrimination in the School Environment

      Inclusive education also aims to combat exclusion and discrimination in the school environment. Students with special needs or different abilities often face prejudice and stigma that prevent them from fully participating in school life. This discrimination can negatively affect these students' self-esteem and academic performance.

      By adopting an inclusive approach, schools commit to creating a safe and welcoming environment where all students are respected for their uniqueness. This involves raising awareness among the entire school community, including educators, parents and colleagues, about the importance of valuing diversity and combating prejudice.

      4. Urgent Need in the Face of Educational Inequalities

      The search for inclusive education becomes even more pressing given the educational inequalities present in many countries. Students with special needs or belonging to marginalized groups have faced greater obstacles to accessing quality education, which can result in significant disparities in academic performance and personal development.

      Inclusive education emerges as a response to these inequalities, offering a path to ensure that all students have access to equal learning opportunities and that their individual needs are adequately met. It is an approach that aims to build a more equitable education, where each student can develop their potential and contribute positively to society.

      It is clear that inclusive education is a pressing need to create a fairer and more equitable educational system. It values ​​diversity, overcomes historical barriers, combats exclusion and discrimination, in addition to seeking greater equity in access to education. By adopting more inclusive practices, we will be contributing to the construction of a more welcoming and enriching school environment, preparing students to become conscious and active citizens in a plural and diverse society. The search for inclusive education is a collective commitment that must involve the whole of society, aiming to build a more equal and promising future for all students.

      DECLARATION OF THE PURPOSE OF THE WORK AND THE RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC

      The purpose of this work on Inclusive Education is to promote in-depth reflection on the importance of this educational approach and provide effective strategies to meet the needs of all students. We will address the relevance of the topic not only from an educational point of view, but also in the social and human context, highlighting how inclusive education is an essential step towards building a more just, egalitarian and supportive society.

      Inclusive Education is much more than an educational approach; It is a world perspective that values ​​diversity and recognizes the uniqueness of each individual. By promoting inclusion, we are seeking to ensure that all students, regardless of their differences and particularities, have the opportunity to develop their full potential.

      This work aims to raise awareness among educators, managers, parents and society as a whole about the importance of educational inclusion. By understanding that each student is unique and brings specific skills, talents and needs, we will be better prepared to create a more welcoming and enriching educational environment.

      Inclusive Education is not just about adapting the school to receive students with special needs; it's about transforming the school into a truly inclusive space, where all students feel valued and respected. It's about ensuring that every student has access to learning opportunities suited to their individual needs.

      By embracing Inclusive Education, we are contributing to the construction of a fairer society, where coexistence with differences is valued and encouraged. We are preparing students to be more empathetic, tolerant citizens and capable of contributing fully to collective progress.

      In addition to the impact on the educational sphere, Inclusive Education also brings significant social and human benefits. By promoting inclusion, we are breaking with exclusionary paradigms and building a more welcoming and supportive society.

      Therefore, this work aims to promote in-depth reflection on the importance of Inclusive Education and provide effective strategies to make it a reality in our schools. By embracing this approach, we will be contributing to the construction of a more equal and promising future, where each individual can develop their full potential and fully contribute to collective progress. Inclusive Education is an essential path towards building a fairer society, where diversity is valued and inclusion is a concrete reality.

      THEORETICAL FOUNDATION

      CONCEPT AND PRINCIPLES OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

      Inclusive Education is an educational approach that seeks to guarantee access, participation and learning for all students, regardless of their differences and particularities. This conception values ​​diversity and recognizes that each individual brings with them a unique set of experiences, skills and needs. The central objective of inclusive education is to create a welcoming school environment, where each student feels respected and recognized in their uniqueness.

      At the heart of inclusive education is the principle of equity. This means that all students have the right to fair and equal learning opportunities, considering their individual characteristics. Equity is not about treating all students the same, but rather about providing support and accommodations to meet each student's specific needs, ensuring that everyone has an equal chance to develop to their full potential.

      Inclusive education is based on respect for human dignity. This implies recognizing and valuing the uniqueness of each student, avoiding stigmatization and discrimination based on their differences. The inclusive school environment must be a safe space, where all students feel valued and welcomed in their identity.

      The role of the school environment in promoting inclusion is crucial. Schools must be environments conducive to harmonious coexistence with diversity, where individualities are respected and valued. This requires concrete actions, such as the implementation of pedagogical practices adapted
