Avances en educación superior inclusiva: una revisión documental

Abstract

Inclusive education is an initiative that was born in Colombia as a necessity to eradicate the exclusion of people in vulnerable conditions from the educational system, and open a gap to inclusion for all human beings under equal conditions, ensuring through a set of guidelines permanence, equitable access and quality education, based on human rights. It focuses on a documentary review study that aims to analyze the progress that has been made in recent years in higher education, delving into the challenges that the system has had to face in order to consolidate an inclusive scenario for all Colombians. The search for information focused on scientific articles that alluded to Colombian higher education and the management undertaken by the State to consolidate an inclusive and legally regulated management. In general terms, it was determined that Colombia has significant theoretical and research studies on Inclusive Higher Education, especially in relation to the population with some disability and the mechanisms that guarantee their inclusion, and that the authors insist on the importance of promoting methodologies and programs leading to the transformation of attitudes, in order to guarantee the provision of quality inclusive academic services, with measurable results in terms of quality of life and increased levels of participation in the academic sphere of these historically marginalized groups.
