Abstract

In today's society there is a growing diversity which is also evident within educational institutions; Well, students who present differences in physical, personal, social, cultural aspects, among others, converge in them; thus representing a challenge for the school system and in particular for teachers, who are called upon to offer the student population a quality education regardless of any type of difference, in order to contribute to their comprehensive development.

     But how can the education system meet this challenge? In order to glimpse some alternatives in this regard, an investigation was proposed that highlighted what elements of the school culture favor inclusive education, this investigation was carried out in some district schools, since it starts from the fact that in all institutions there are some aspects and conditions that are favorable, which are necessary to identify in order to strengthen them and thus achieve the purpose of offering the entire population efficient educational responses for all students regardless of their characteristics.

     This is how it emphasizes the importance of institutions delving into individual and collective culture, in the search for alternatives that involve all members of the educational community; to enable permanence within a school context that enhances the possibilities and competencies of students, based on their differences, respecting the rights of citizens, in order to achieve transformations and contribute to the achievement of educational quality.
