Education, as a basic pillar of the development of our society, must be based on education for all, without differences or isolation of the students due to their special characteristics. At the same time, the great boom that are taking place in society in general and in education in particular, Information and Communication Technologies, make them the best tools to facilitate personalized and group education.

The concept of Social Justice that guides this group is a concept based on the proposal of attending to the capacities required by individuals to carry out one kind of life or another. All of them, capacities that must be worked on, ensured and respected from the education of the first courses of the different educational centers. In this way, we develop basic skills from the early years of individuals, in order to ensure Human Rights and equal opportunities from school.

- Digital literacy
- Digital divide vs digital union
- ICT opportunities for students with Specific Educational Support Needs
