Role of Inclusive Education:

Abstract

Schools must play a prominent role in creating an inclusive society, as they represent the main opportunity for young people from migrant and host communities to get to know each other and respect each other¹. In this sense, schools play a fundamental role in educational inclusion, as they are the space that guarantees access, retention, learning, and participation for all students. Therefore, inclusive education seeks to guarantee access to education for all students, adapting to their diverse needs, including those of people with special educational needs². For example, the European Agency for the Development of Special Needs Education³, clearly states that inclusive education is a matter of equity and, therefore, a matter of quality that impacts all students. Access and quality are linked and mutually reinforcing; and quality and equity are fundamental to ensuring inclusive education. Therefore, schools are responsible for managing their culture, policies, and practices to prevent differences from becoming educational and social inequalities, thus contributing to more inclusive and democratic societies. In short, we invite all students, professionals, and researchers to publish articles on these topics. This space seeks to foster academic dialogue and the dissemination of knowledge that contribute to improving inclusive practices in the classroom and the school community
