Diversity in higher education: current intervention programs

Abstract

An educational institution more effective and more humane education is based on, serve students regardless if they have disabilities, belong to a culture, race or religion other, (Arnáiz Sánchez, 1996). Starting from this premise, in higher education approach is common, since it is the preparatory educational stage for the inclusion in the labour market. We speak, of an inclusive education which encompasses an attitude, a value system and a set of actions, forming a process of innovation, (Moreno Tallon, 2010). Therefore to compensate the inequalities in collective underprivileged or disadvantaged social, economic,
cultural, geographical, ethnic or otherwise could have learning difficulties which stem from the such disadvantage and social-escolar treatment. In this sense, this work aims to show a practical tour of different interventions in the field of higher education, offering a current perspective of how to work the diversity in the universities. It has conducted a review of the literature on different databases, to learn about the contributions of different programs that have intervened in the context of university education in response to the diversity of its student body. This helps improve the response to the attention to diversity and its implementation in the classroom, as well as to promote synergies between institutions and professionals in favor of generating further proposals for action in University contexts.
