Resumen

La educación intercultural se ha consolidado como un eje central en los debates sobre equidad social y diversidad, debido a la creciente heterogeneidad cultural de las sociedades contemporáneas. Este estudio se basa en una revisión sistemática para analizar la relación entre educación intercultural, diversidad y equidad social. Los hallazgos destacan los desafíos en la implementación de estrategias interculturales en los sistemas educativos, incluyendo desigualdades estructurales, limitada formación docente y resistencia a la transformación curricular. Además, la investigación subraya la necesidad de integrar múltiples epistemologías en los programas educativos para garantizar la representación equitativa de los distintos grupos culturales en la construcción del conocimiento y la toma de decisiones. A pesar de los avances normativos, la brecha entre la teoría y la práctica sigue siendo significativa, lo que restringe el impacto de la educación intercultural en la reducción de desigualdades. El estudio, además, hace énfasis en la importancia de la participación comunitaria, la formación docente crítica y el desarrollo de metodologías pedagógicas inclusivas. Se concluye que la educación intercultural desempeña un papel crucial en la promoción de la justicia social al fomentar entornos de aprendizaje inclusivos y reconocer la diversidad cultural como un componente fundamental de la equidad educativa. Abordar estos desafíos requiere políticas integrales que incorporen la interculturalidad como un principio rector en las reformas educativas.
