Educative diversity in pupil of the system of social protection "Shared in common Chile" of the commune of Valparaiso: results of an exploratory study

Abstract

The article presents the results of an exploratory research on the relationship between social and educational vulnerability in pupils from families that benefit from the Puente Project, and that currently attend the high school early years education, and the first cycle of primary school education. The relationship is analysed from an inclusive education perspective. It aims to examine the belief that this relationship is direct and that the mere fact of pertaining to low socioeconomic segment means a high educational vulnerability, which is associated to failure at school. To this end, an index was built that eventually signalled a great diversity of educational results in the population analysed even though they belonged to the same socioeconomic segment, leading to the conclusion that the relationship is not direct.
