Abstract
The universal declaration of human rights marked the course of the 20th century. Among them is the right to education. In order to guarantee this right, and for it to be of quality, public policies are required that favor it from an inclusive and intercultural perspective, without discrimination or prejudice. In the contemporary context, the concepts of diversity and difference are expanding in relation to social inequalities and vulnerability. The paradigm of normality/abnormality is questioned and even rejected by the scientific community and by educational centers. Already in the 21st century, the paradigm of inclusion is strengthened and provokes a rethinking of education in a globalized and plural world, based on human complexity and the learning possibilities that diversity offers. There are many experiences that show the consolidation of this educational model in different socio-educational contexts, with innovative and challenging proposals, which, in turn, pose dilemmas and an enriching debate on this process of educational transformation towards inclusion and interculturality.
