Acción afirmativa en la educación inclusiva de niños y niñas con síndrome de Down.

Abstract

Affirmative action in the inclusive education of children with Down syndrome is the central theme of this thesis. Affirmative action is a set of public policies that aim to correct social and economic inequalities that have been produced by historical discrimination against certain groups in society, such as people with disabilities. Educational inclusion is the process of integrating students with disabilities into the regular education system and guaranteeing their participation on equal terms with other students. This paper analyzes affirmative action policies in inclusive education for children with Down syndrome in Ecuador, to identify best practices and challenges in this area. It examines how these policies can improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, increase their social and educational inclusion, and reduce discrimination.
