SOLER-MARTIN, Carolina; MARTINEZ-PINEDA, María Cristina  and  PENA-RODRIGUEZ, Faustino. Neither Inclusion nor Equity. Other Points of View for the Formulation of Educational Policies with Social Justice. Folios [online]. 2018, n.48, pp.27-38. ISSN 0123-4870.

This paper, which is the result of a previous investigation, exposes some of the discussions and tensions that lay the foundation for policies of equity and inclusion in the context of the fulfillment of the right to education. A critical analysis is made of, in particular, the focalization, compensation, massification and efficiency strategies, among other policies, which do not modify the inequitable social structures and, conversely, perpetuate and increase the social gaps, while also being unaware of the struggles to recognize human differences in their cultural, political and economic dimensions. As such, it could be said that the links between education with and for social justice are about to be built.

The text is divided into two sections: The first one places current problematizations in social policy and in the cultural spheres related to educational processes; the second one presents some initiatives that seek to build close relations between education and social justice, from the school, to envision elements that contribute to shaping other social policy paths aimed at eliminating social injustices expressed in exclusions, inequalities and discrimination by sex, race, color, gender, and social and economic status, among others.

Keywords : social justice; education for social justice; educational policies; equity; inclusion.
