Abstract
MENDOZA ZUANY, Rosa Guadalupe. Inclusion as educational policy: Towards a single educational system in culturally and linguistically diverse Mexico. Sinéctica [online]. 2018, n.50. ISSN 2007-7033. https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2018)0050-009.
This article analyzes the transfer of inclusion to educational policy in Mexico as an alternative to intercultural and bilingual focus on education in culturally and linguistically diverse contexts. It deepens on three spheres -curricular, teachers’ profile and training, and school management- in which empirical evidence show the transit to a general and single educational system. This single system represents the displacement of the indigenous educational subsystem. The collection and analysis of data occur within the development of a national evaluation of educational policies for indigenous population in basic education (Mendoza, 2017). These data provide evidence of the construction of a homogenous category called “vulnerable group” in which many different groups identified as excluded or potentially excluded from schools have been integrated such as indigenous children, to be included to a general and single educational system.
