Abstract

This article reflects on some key aspects related to compulsory education, highlighting the gap that exists between the goals of education and academic achievements (results) in this educational level, resides revisiting how family participation and involvemente is understood.  In the first part we contend that the educational system demands the achievement of certain results and acquisition of skills, wich are not specifically addressed within the school or the classroom, so they can only be achieved with external support. The second part describes a research Project carried out by the INTER Group, focused on the analysis of school practices coherent with the intercultural approach, through story lives and case studies. The third part analyzes these practices, according to how they define Diversity, their educational goals, and what teachers do to achieve them. We end with some final remarks.
