In the training of students to graduate as teachers, we offer a curriculum with a wide variety of subjects in accordance with the current context, which will allow them to acquire the theoretical and practical aspects necessary to practice their profession with quality and excellence.
Some of the subjects offered in this career revolve around the field of educational inclusion, whose objective is to analyze the principles that support educational inclusion. Thus, through reflection on the areas that comprise it, particular emphasis is placed on those groups of students who may be at risk of being excluded or of falling into school failure, and who are at greater risk or in conditions of vulnerability, and that, therefore, it is necessary to adopt measures to ensure their presence, participation, learning and academic success within the educational system.
Thus, through these subjects, students are offered the necessary tools that allow them to develop a global and strategic thinking about the importance of the inclusive approach in society, from a broad perspective, by identifying integration and inclusion, the organizational landscape and special educational needs not associated with disability.
In this way, from university preparation, students become involved with the theoretical aspects necessary to consider in order to work later on in inclusive school environments, where trust, appreciation and recognition of other human beings are fostered, within the framework of respect and understanding. This favors the entire educational system, since this type of training provides professionals capable of facing interesting challenges from an inclusive education, identifying possible barriers that impede the progress of each student.
Precisely, one of the great challenges in this XXI century, in the educational field, is to have professionals capable of assuming an inclusive education based on respect and appreciation, understanding that all human beings have the right to access a quality education that allows them to fully develop, learn and participate in society.
Therefore, students of education, through the study of educational inclusion, manage to understand and assume the responsibility of mastering all the tools that are offered to them to assume both children and young people who need to be served and included in a quality education system, with equal opportunities, where they are provided with opportunities for academic and personal growth.
