Global trends such as demographic changes, migration crises, and growing inequality lead governments to reflect on how to promote equity and inclusion. The OECD Strength through Diversity Project (OECD, 2023) shares definitions of equity and inclusion from 34 different education systems and identifies six dimensions of diversity: migration; ethnic groups, national minorities, and Indigenous peoples; gender; LGBTQI+; special education needs (SEN); giftedness. The project asks participating countries if there is a specific term in their educational jurisdiction to indicate the diversity; the terms differ between countries, which poses a challenge for the comparative analysis. However, the textual analysis of the definitions provided by the countries reveals recurring keywords in many education systems, highlighting examples of "best practices" such as in Portugal, which since 2018 has shifted the focus from identifying student characteristics to identifying student support measures.
Tendenze globali come i cambiamenti demografici, le crisi migratorie e la crescente disuguaglianza inducono i governi a riflettere su come promuovere l'equità e l'inclusione. Il progetto dell'OCSE Strength through Diversity (OCSE, 2023) condivide le definizioni di equità e inclusione di 34 diversi sistemi educativi e identifica sei dimensioni della diversità: migrazione; gruppi etnici, minoranze nazionali e popolazioni indigene; genere; LGBTQI+; bisogni educativi speciali (BES), talento. Il progetto chiede ai Paesi partecipanti se esiste un termine specifico nella loro giurisdizione educativa per indicare la diversità; i termini differiscono tra i Paesi, il che rappresenta una sfida per l'analisi comparativa. Tuttavia, l'analisi testuale delle definizioni fornite dai Paesi rivela parole chiave ricorrenti in molti sistemi educativi, evidenziando esempi di "buone pratiche" come in Portogallo, che dal 2018 ha spostato l'attenzione dall'identificazione delle caratteristiche degli studenti all'identificazione delle misure di sostegno agli student

Abstract
Global trends such as demographic changes, migration crises, and growing inequality lead governments to reflect on how to promote equity and inclusion. The OECD Strength through Diversity Project (OECD, 2023) shares definitions of equity and inclusion from 34 different education systems and identifies six dimensions of diversity: migration; ethnic groups, national minorities, and Indigenous peoples; gender; LGBTQI+; special education needs (SEN); giftedness. The project asks participating countries if there is a specific term in their educational jurisdiction to indicate the diversity; the terms differ between countries, which poses a challenge for the comparative analysis. However, the textual analysis of the definitions provided by the countries reveals recurring keywords in many education systems, highlighting examples of "best practices" such as in Portugal, which since 2018 has shifted the focus from identifying student characteristics to identifying student support measures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
