CORREA ALZATE, Jorge Iván. Principle of progressivity and non-reversibility in inclusive education for people with disabilities in Colombia. Prax. Saber [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.39, pp.1-.  Epub Nov 22, 2023. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v14.n39.2023.15781.

This article presents a research project 1 focused on analyzing the principle of progressivity and non-reversibility in inclusive education for people with disabilities in Colombia. Presented as a reflective construction, this paper retakes the Decrees that have given support to the implementation of this educational project, as well as the experience of 33 people with disabilities who have gone through this education system and who are still high school students in the city of Medellin. The study was oriented from a critical and analytical perspective using documentary analysis and focus group techniques. The results obtained conclude that the principle of progressivity and non-reversibility recognizes a political, conceptual, and procedural progress that has transversed through the education system from early childhood education to higher education. Results also show that the major obstacle lies in the availability of resources for the continuity and sustainability of educational strategies required in inclusive education.

Keywords : disability; inclusive education; progressivity and non-reversibility.
