Abstract

The present study is characterized as a bibliographic research, based on a qualitative approach, with data and information obtained through scientific articles, available on the internet. The study's main objectives are to understand the importance of valuing diversity and reducing inequality in the educational scenario; aiming to understand the challenges of diversity especially in the school space; reflecting on the challenges of school management, pondering the importance of democratic management for the effectiveness of affirmative actions on diversity in the educational scope. In this sense, we seek to address the following themes, proposed throughout this research, considering the following topics. Initially, diversity management is addressed in the educational field, emphasizing the importance of efficient management, in the fight against inequalities, with the objective of including students and offering equal access opportunities for all. The next section deals with addressing the challenges of diversity and new technologies today. This topic brings to light discussions that emphasize the importance of the democratization of information for the integral formation of the stigmatized and excluded student of the digital world, in the society of the 21st century. The third topic emphasizes the importance of school management for the integration and access of diversity to new information and communication technologies. During the research, it was possible to verify that the challenges of diversity, in the educational scope, are far from being completely overcome. But, through affirmative pedagogical projects and proposals to combat social inequalities, in the school space, the impacts caused by injustices, especially digital exclusion, can be mitigated and a process of inclusion can be started in a fair way, aiming at the offer of equal opportunities for all.
