Conocimiento sobre las politicas y estrategías para la Inclusión Social en los estudiantes de la Facultad de Educación en la Universidad de Pamplona.

Abstract

This project describes ideas about the process of integration and inclusion in higher education of people belonging to vulnerable population groups in Colombia. Young people belonging to these groups may have access to education as a right established in the Constitution of Colombia 1991; some of them access to higher education in order to transform their own lives and their families’lives and to encourage the development of the regions they come from; but because of experiences of exclusion, rejection, or lack of economic and social accessibility, students sometimes drop out, because they do not know the social inclusion policies and the programs offered by the University of Pamplona that allow students to participate in it and stay until the end of their professional career. In order to build a process of inclusion in academic and cultural environments provided by the institution, it is intended that students of the Faculty of Education of the University programs: (Bachelor’s degrees: Humanities and Spanish Language, Foreign Languages, Social Sciences, Physical Education and Child Pedagogy) know the actions, rights, policies and forms of participation, which give the possibility of getting involved in, and help them to be part of society in different ways: as a student, worker or family member in which they live. A Qualitative method was employed; Narrative design and through interviews applied to some students recounted their experience about the subject; Thus, the lack of knowledge of the policies and programs offered by the University in favor of them and that at some point in their professional career suffered from a type of discrimination due to their condition. It is proposed to create a more successful strategy for all both new and old students belonging to the Faculty of Education are aware of and validate these opportunities.
