Abstract

Inclusive education in academia has become a key concept worldwide. Inclusion in the academic environment does not start from scratch but is based on the principles and measures applied since the levels of previous stages of education (school, middle school, high school) with their specific adaptation.
In order to optimize the possibilities of access in university education, inclusive education in the previous stages of schooling remains essential, which should be complemented with effective transition strategies.
In order to achieve an effective socio-educational inclusion, it is essential to have coherence and concordance between the educational policy and the education system, on the one hand, and the practical ways of achieving it on the other hand.
