Visibility of Diversity Policies in European Universities: Analysis of Inclusive Strategies on Their Institutional Websites

Keywords: Diversity outreach, inclusion, higher education, disability, special educational needs

Abstract

Within the Sustainable Development Goals for the 2030 Agenda, the premise stands out that "education must be inclusive, equitable, and of quality, in addition to fostering lifelong learning opportunities for all" (UNESCO, 2016). In this context, education faces the challenge of providing quality education at all educational stages, including university. The question then arises as to whether universities have the necessary resources and measures to address student diversity. To address this issue, a descriptive exploratory study of a quantitative nature has been carried out, analyzing the websites of 73 European universities with mobility agreements with the Faculty of Education of the Complutense University of Madrid. This involved observing the availability of resources and services aimed at addressing diversity. In conclusion, despite significant efforts and a growing commitment to inclusion, it is evident that there is still a long way to go to achieve true inclusive education in the university setting.
