Abstract
This reflection tackles the importance of considering cultural differences and social inequalities in education. It illustrates how education has marginalized indigenous and Afro-descendant communities in Latin America, highlighting the need towards inclusive and equitable educational policies. Besides, it emphasizes education is fundamental to address inequalities and promote a fair society, proposing a perspective focused on capabilities and intercultural discussion. This paper also points out the importance of a pedagogy of care and responsibility towards each other; enabling everyone to reach their highest potential.
