Migración en Chile e inclusión educativa : un estudio documental (1980-2021)

Abstract

This research article aims to identify the type of approach to educational inclusion evident in the laws, policies and guidelines published in Chile between 1980 and 2021 that refer to migrant students. The qualitative study uses a documentation design that analyses 22 documents retrieved from the websites of the Ministries of the Interior and Public Security and Education. The results highlight the lack of specificity with the reality of migrants in schools, particularly in legislation, where there is only evidence of an educational approach that is aimed at integration and functional interculturality. There is a move towards critical interculturality in some guidelines that attempt to promote and value cultural diversity. This divergence and lack of specificity leave a question mark over the educational inclusion of migrant students in Chile.
