Derecho a la educación superior inclusiva con personas con discapacidad y ajustes razonables en la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: Inclusive higher education in favor of people with disabilities represents a crucial advancement in the Ecuadorian State. It promotes an equitable society focused on fostering access to and enjoyment of rights for every individual, especially when it concerns a vulnerable group. This right, strengthened within the constitutional framework and favorably interpreted by the Constitutional Court through its jurisprudential precedents, has fulfilled its role: ensuring that people with disabilities can access the educational system without restriction and pursue their academic training without any form of discrimination. On the contrary, it has established protective criteria that reinforce the State s unavoidable duty to guarantee educational access at all levels. In this study, a qualitative approach was applied, focusing on a documented analysis of relevant doctrine and jurisprudence regarding inclusive education at the higher education level. As a result of the research, it is concluded that jurisprudential standards have consolidated an objective interpretative line centered on accessible education for all people, regardless of their physical, economic, social, political, religious condition, or any other difference.
