La interculturalidad en la educación ecuatoriana y el respeto a los derechos de los estudiantes

Abstract

The present work has the objective of analyzing the importance of interculturality in education, in relation to what is established in national and international legal norms to recognize the rights of students. Interculturality is a permanent process of dialogue between people and societies, recognizing diversity as the most important richness of a country. The methodology adopted is qualitative in nature, through a bibliographic review of the different databases and the analysis technique, we were able to investigate the epistemological foundations of interculturality, its impact on education, national laws and international organizations that protect the rights of students from a cultural perspective. After the investigations carried out, it was established that interculturality through education should be practiced as a dynamic process in which students, parents and teachers generate spaces for dialogue, recognizing cultural diversity. Likewise, the entire educational community should promote an education based on respect for diversity, where all students have the same rights and opportunities as citizens of the same nation.
