Therefore, this course focuses on trying to answer some questions like: How do you involve “all students” in the classroom?  What are the common problems that education deals with? It also will study issues about Inclusion and equity in education; moreover, it aims to think how our education systems might be more unbiased, inclusive, and of high quality, guaranteeing lifelong learning for everybody.
