THE INCLUSIVE PARADIGM THROUGH THE LENS OF SOCIAL INEQUALITY
This article aims to build a theoretical and critical reflection on the concept of exclusion and of its use in educational research, particularly on its link with the inclusion paradigm. Following a theoretical proposition that takes into account the various social inequalities that explains exclusion in the school context, an analysis of the presence of these inequalities within the different historical waves of inclusion in school reinforces the notion that the inclusion paradigm, at first associated with integration, has developed in relation with exclusion. In conclusion, the article reiterates that the denunciation of social inequalities is necessary to avoid having the inclusion paradigm leading only to cosmestic changes that reinforce the status quo.
