ARIZABALETA DOMINGUEZ, Sandra Lucia  y  OCHOA CUBILLOS, Andrés Felipe. Towards an Inclusive Higher Education in Colombia. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2016, n.45, pp.41-52. ISSN 0121-2494.

This article analyzes basic theoretical and conceptual ideas that underlie an inclusive higher education, within the framework of the Policy Guidelines on Inclusive Higher Education proposed by the Ministry of National Education in 2013. It also examines the challenges that higher education institutions must face when identifying the learning barriers of their diverse student populations and promoting strategies that would ensure access, attendance, academic pertinence, and graduation. This situation makes higher education institutions reflect and rethink themselves based on processes of institutional self-evaluation, in order to create participatory strategies that promote inclusive management in a fair, relevant, and quality education system.

Palabras clave : Inclusive higher education; index for inclusion (IIES); access; retention; graduation; pertinence.
