The centers of education in general and secondary in particular the municipality of Cartagena have severe deficiencies to provide an educational service that guarantees equal opportunities for students with disabilities.

Thus, there is evidence of lack of support resources, especially humans, are very scarce and effective teachers working for the inclusion not have the support needed (time, materials, support teachers, etc)

This situation has been aggravated by the CARM cuts in education, and in the case of these students are greatly affected by increasing teacher turnover in some cases is very high, making it difficult for students with disabilities have continuity and a clear, stable reference.

Furthermore, it is not a criticism of the professionals, but a reality, much of the teachers, especially in high school, do not have knowledge or skills that promote inclusion, because this issue is not sufficiently promoted in the university syllabus that are used to form teachers.

Only the professionalism and the willingness of many of them, supplies the apparent lack the education system presented in this matter.

Moreover you are missing the necessary adaptation of content and methodology, resulting it being misconceived students with disabilities do not reach the top of their abilities.

It is also necessary to change how to evaluate, since it must be tailored to their needs.

Also note that the materials, tests, etc., are not adapted for easy reading or language and accessible terms.

It is also necessary to develop strategies to prevent bullying, and that children with disabilities are particularly vulnerable.

From SPCT we demand that the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Department of Education made jointly with schools and associations of disabled protocols that allow to provide quality services that guarantee equal opportunity for students with disabilities, especially in secondary education, where they have identified significant shortcomings.
