SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS IN THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD: CRITICAL SUMMARY

Abstract

Educational inclusion is a fundamental principle to ensure equity and quality in access to education. This study analyzes the need for inclusive strategies in education, addressing key challenges and opportunities. The objective is to identify limiting factors and propose viable solutions. A qualitative methodology was used, based on document review and case analysis of schools with inclusion experiences. Regulatory documents, previous studies, and teacher-student experiences were analyzed. Results show that lack of resources, insufficient teacher training, and resistance to change hinder inclusion. However, strategies such as curricular adaptation, community awareness, and continuous teacher training have shown positive results in improving access and retention for students with diverse educational needs. It is concluded that implementing inclusive policies is essential to guarantee the right to education and promote a more equitable society. Schools must adopt a comprehensive approach that includes teacher training and active community participation to achieve effective educational inclusion
