Abstract
Education today is a social right and that is why educational reforms
have been aimed at achieving universal access to regular education and
improving its quality and equity. However, inequalities still persist, so it is
important to combine the quality of education with educational inclusion in the
Chilean system. This research explored the degree of correlation between the
inclusion index and the performance classification of the education quality
measurement system, both in language and mathematics, limited to the fourth
basic years of urban schools in San Clemente. The inclusion index extracted
from instruments applied to teachers, parents and students, focused on
cultures, policies and inclusive practices, while the results of the Education
Quality Agency (SIMCE) test, have been granted by the Mystery of Education.
Thus, for the contrast of both variables, the chi-square test was used, a non-
parametric instrument that measures the discrepancy between an observed
distribution and a theoretical one. The results revealed 75% as an acceptable
parameter with respect to the inclusion index, all urban schools in the
municipality of San Clemente are inclusive.
Keywords: education; school; educational quality.
