The National Education Plan 2014–2024 and the challenges for Special Education in the perspective of an Inclusive Culture

Abstract

This study deals with Brazil’s efforts to implement educational public policies aimed at creating an Inclusive Culture. A brief historical review related to the struggles that have been made until today (when public policies connected to this subject finally exist) to guarantee rights is presented. The analysis is done with the collection of indicators for goal 4 of the National Education Plan that deals with the formation of actions focused on Inclusive Education for the next decade. In this sense, data are presented on the evolution of enrollment of students with disabilities; on the training of teachers that are able to attend this specific audience; and on the implementation and usage of multifunctional resource rooms. The references come from the database of INEP (National Institute of Studies and Educational Research Anísio Teixeira). Analyzed data consider the crossing between the numbers of the School Census and the Demographic Census of IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).
