Abstract:
The inclusion of people with disabilities in the school environment represents a
challenge, starting from early childhood education to higher education, in this sense
this research seeks to raise awareness among people and higher education
institutions about the importance of including students with disabilities. To this end, it
should be noted that ensuring quality education for people with disabilities, protecting
them from all forms of violence, neglect and discrimination, is the duty of the State,
the family, the school community and society. The choice of the theme came with the
objective of demonstrating how much people with disabilities are not being treated
with dignity, and their rights are systematically violated, in the case of this research,
especially by higher education institutions. People with disabilities suffer from
impediments in the interaction with one or more barriers, which end up obstructing
their full and effective participation in society on equal terms with other people. There
are many barriers encountered by people with disabilities in the search for access to
higher education, whether structural or athenalysican, such as prejudice and
inequality. The methodology used was qualitative, bibliographic and documentary
research, based on treaties, laws, articles and articles published on websites and
scientific journals of law or on the theme of inclusion. The theoretical framework
follows the lessons of Joaquin Herrera Flores, bringing a critical analysis of human
rights as a basis for emancipation of people with disabilities, in the search for their
rights. It is also based on Edgar Morin's theory, especially in the "Seven knowledge
necessary for the education of the future". The results of the work are presented
through research references in materials such as: international treaties, laws,
decrees, doctrines, scientific articles and official documents. The research concludes
that inclusive education is capable of transforming, in a beneficial way, the reality
experienced, not only by students with disabilities, but by all students, educators and
society in general.
