CASTILLO-BRICENO, Cristina. Positioning Inclusive Education: A Different View of the Educative Horizon. Educación [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.2, pp.123-152. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v39i2.19902.

This article aims to propose an analysis of the fundamental elements which make possible to place inclusive education as an option to assure the right of education to all citizens. It also outlines the description of an investigatory documentary procedure used in the gathering of information, fol- lowed by an examination of the ideas surrounding inclusive education as a fundamental right, which deals with diverse realities to be able to accomplish an integral development of people. It is conceived as an instrument which helps to foster mutual learning to enrich diversity. Then, international norms and their consequences on inclusive education regarding equity, equal opportunities, diversity, in- terculturality, inclusion/exclusion, and human rights in the educative and social environment are presented. Subsequently, basic elements of inclusive education are shown from its conceptualization to an approach of the dimensions which help to place it as a different educative instrument to glimpse the educational horizon.

Keywords : inclusive education; human rights; equity; equality; diversity.
