Abstract

Abstract: Inclusive education remains in the pursuit of social justice, integrating diverse people into regular settings. This study aimed to diagnose the perception of the inclusive education process from the perspective of parents and teachers, in order to provide improvements that promote quality education that is relevant to all people. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory, contextual, descriptive, quantitative and non-probabilistic convenience sample of 20 parents and 20 teachers from a school in Guayaquil, a survey for parents, a socio-demographic questionnaire for teachers, and the Educational Inclusion Index adapted to Ecuador were applied. The results showed a positive perception towards inclusive education, but pointed out areas for improvement: in the promotion of inclusive culture and the implementation of inclusive policies. Collaboration between teachers, parents and students is key to an equitable educational environment. There was a call to strengthen this collaboration, to implement effective policies and reinforce existing ones, to train in inclusion in order to move towards inclusive quality education.
