THE LAW OF GUIDELINES AND BASES AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: GUIDELINES FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education (LDB) in promoting educational inclusion, focusing on guidelines for equal opportunities. The central problem investigated was how the LDB guidelines are adequate to the practice of inclusive education and what is the impact of these policies on equal educational opportunities?. The general objective was to evaluate how the LDB influences school inclusion and to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation. A literature review was carried out to analyze the main characteristics of the inclusive policies established by the LDB, comparing them with international models. The methodology involved the collection and analysis of information from relevant studies and articles, with a focus on identifying the practical application of the guidelines and their results. The results showed that, although the LDB has established a basis for inclusion, practical implementation still faces obstacles, such as lack of resources and the need for continuous training of teachers. The analysis revealed that, despite being aligned with international principles, the practice of inclusion in Brazil presents specific challenges that impact its effectiveness. The final considerations highlighted the importance of improving the application of the LDB guidelines, with an emphasis on supporting education professionals and making resources available. Future research is needed to explore the challenges and best practices in implementing educational inclusion.
