Resumen:
Since the recognition of the right to education by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and a number of treaties and
normative instruments, countries have included such a right in their Constitutions. In Spain, the article 27 of the current
Constitution recognizes first of all the right of everyone to education as a basic right. Although the laws and their regulations are
clear about the possibilities and conditions for foreign people to access to the educational services, difficulties arising in practice
entail a permanent concern about the promotion of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue. So I will consider the evolution
of the idea of integration and I will explore the principles of inclusive education.
