Abstract

Inclusive education is recognised as a global ethical and legislative commitment, supported by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Sustainable Development Goals. Although regulations establish it as a non-negotiable principle, a gap persists between discourse and practice, as inclusion demands a profound cultural and social transformation. Integration is not the same as inclusion; to achieve inclusion, structures must be transformed to guarantee full participation and learning. Educational research has generated extensive literature and special issues addressing studies, experiences and educational practices. Among these are works on teacher training, social justice, digital inclusion and attention to diversity. In response to this, the special issue proposes four pillars for action: social and cultural change, teacher training, material and human resources, and practical application in the classroom. Without these elements, inclusion risks remaining merely an ideal, which is why this monograph addresses studies on each pillar. Overall, inclusion is conceived as a systemic process that requires investment, sustainable strategies and robust teacher preparation to advance towards equitable, high-quality education for all.
