Abstract

Inclusion in the educational context has been a very relevant issue in Chile in recent years, a period where the diversity present in classrooms has also been made visible. In parallel, Chile has been the site of an important migratory process, positioning itself within Latin America as the country where migration has increased the most in recent years (Rojas and Vicuña, 2019). This article focuses on contributing international experience to the Chilean educational context, to strengthen the processes of inclusion of migrant students whose mother tongue is not Spanish, an experience mostly lived by students of Haitian origin. To this end, integration models were reviewed for countries that have a long history as recipients of migrant groups, such as Canada, the United States, Great Britain and France, among others. Through these international experiences, we seek to learn and reflect on the Chilean reality, to strengthen the tools and strategies that our schools have implemented.
