In the last decade, the concept has been present as a topic of discussion and debate in the educational concert at the same time, there are new approaches and modes of understanding.
Along with this, the phenomenon of globalization, the advance of knowledge, technological progress, the demands of raising the quality of education have stressed the space in which our children are developed.
consensus now seems to be one of the purposes, most important of education is to promote the integral development of people so they can become contributing members of society and to exercise citizenship
In light of the above informal education only be a key to personal development but also for the development of societies, it is considered as one of the key elements in the human development index
20 years have passed since it was declared as a major challenge to combat exclusion in the World Conference on Education for All (Jontiem 1990) which was ratified in 2005 (Dakar).
Of which concluded on the importance of meeting three needs:
- Need to respect the human rights of people
- Need for greater equity in access, process and outcome
- Need for greater relevance.
Since it took measures to reduce inequalities while it is true throughout Latin America have declined in terms of access to education is no less true that there are still significant gaps in terms of quality in education.
From a look
globalizing and trying to be consistent with the requirements mentioned in this conference we have chosen to contribute to the challenges implicit in the stated needs, betting on one side to reduce inequalities on the other to eliminate discrimination regarding the possibilities to learn from disadvantaged groups.
Some countries have developed explicit actions in this area, in the case of Chile with joy received the approval of the new disability law after four years of negotiation, the House sent the project "establishes rules on equal opportunities and social inclusion people with disabilities. " While this initiative is a step forward in social inclusion, we realize that is only part that comes to attending this "iceberg" .... especially considering that in terms of disability, in Chile, 12.9% of the total population have a disability to perform essential activities of daily living (FONADIS).
Following in the same country, Chile, we note that various mechanisms have been implemented care of special needs among them are projects of integration, language schools, (ever increasing), special schools and others.
Well this has opened opportunities for discussion in education, where issues related to practice such as differentiated assessment, curriculum adaptations, teacher competence is an underlying concern.
This has led to the creation and implementation of training courses and continuing education. However, we must ask:
integrate "people? , Attend "diversity? , What does inclusive education have, What we mean by inclusion?
"Inclusion is accomplished by actions or beyond it? "Inclusion is live or is it done?
Whereas previously reported an update is necessary abreast of new trends in the diversity of life and all the factors associated with it through the contribution of conceptual and methodological date and, in the generation of areas of reflection, knowledge that can bring about important and relevant research inclusion and improved quality of life for our students.
The University of Tarapaca, attentive to the requirements of national and international environment and, by virtue of their knowledge-generating function, has proposed making an academic contribution in this field.
Through the Faculty of Education and Humanities and the Department of Education, in conjunction the University of the Balearic Islands and Universidad Privada de Tacna is pleased to invite teachers, researchers, consultants and others involved in the international conference "Opening Doors to Inclusion" to be held on Thursday 14, Friday 15 October 2010 Saucache Campus of the University of Tarapacá (Arica-Chile) located on the street September 18, 2222.
