EDUCATING TO BUILD MORE INCLUSIVE SOCIETIES

Challenges and keys for the future

If we want to move towards inclusive education, we must start from the reality of the environment, to be clear about where education is headed and to create suitable environments. This book is the result of the work of a university group that has great knowledge and extensive experience in the fields that are addressed. They face the challenge of responding to the social and educational challenge posed by society, which requires a more comprehensive and human academic preparation capable of facing an increasingly complex reality.

It allows us to understand that one of the greatest challenges for the educational system is to understand and promote inclusion policies and practices that allow all students to have the same possibility of achieving fundamental learning. Education plays a fundamental role in achieving committed citizenship. We need a social construction that generates a sustainable value that allows developing the ability to innovate and transfer knowledge, something that is needed at this time. We must work from education If we want to build more inclusive societies, more egalitarian and more committed to diversity, in the broadest sense of the term, both globally and regionally, nationally and locally.

The ten chapters of this book guide us, from a transformative education, to face the different forms of exclusion and marginalization that exist. Inclusion and equity form the basis for achieving this. The different contributions of this book teach us, from a theoretical-practical vision, to build more inclusive societies.
